Description Hangbin Liu 2011-02-21 10:24:46 UTC 
Description of problem:

miimon specifies the MII link monitoring frequency in milliseconds , the default value is 0 . I just want to load the bonding module ,so using the network script method whithout setting the BONDING_OPTS option , but failed .

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

# uname -ri
2.6.32-117.el6.i686 i386

How reproducible:

Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
# service network stop
2.
# cat /etc/modprobe.d/bonding.conf
alias bond0 binding
# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
DEVICE=bond0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
USERCTL=no
3. 
#service network restart
  
Actual results:

Bringing up interface bond0:  binding device bond0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.
[FAILED]

Expected results:

Bringing up interface bond0:  [  OK  ] 

Additional info:

I can bring up bond0 on RHEL5 successfully with this way .

You need to set the parameters either in modprobe.conf, or in BONDING_OPTS; you can't leave both blank.
