== Setting up bounding is with bonding on a RHEL/CentOs v4.CentOS 4 or 5 system ==**Step #1: ===Create a bond0 configuration file===

# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0

*Static ====In case of static IP====

*====In case of DHCP ====

**Step #2: ===Modify eth0 and eth1 config files:===

Open both configuration configurations using vi (text editor ) and make sure the file read reads as follows for interface eth0 interface

# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Open the eth1 configuration file using vi text editor:

# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

Make sure the file read reads as follows for interface eth1 interface:

Save the file and exit to shell prompt.

**Step # 3: === Load bond driver/module===Make sure the bonding module is loaded when before the channel-bonding interface (bond0) is brought up. You need to modify the kernel modules configuration file:

# vi /etc/modprobe.conf

options bond0 mode=balance-alb miimon=100

You can learn more about all bounding bonding options in the kernel source documentation file "Documentation/networking/bonding.txt"

**Step # 4: === Test the configuration===

# cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0

vi /etc/sysconfig/vz<pre>## Network traffic parametersTRAFFIC_SHAPING=yesBANDWIDTH="bond0:102400"TOTALRATE="bond0:1:4096"RATE="bond0:1:8"</pre>and do the rest as usuall<pre># vzctl set $veid --ratebound $bound --rate $rif:$class:$rate --save</pre> * Traffic shaping with tcWhere is no specific specifics here, see:[[Traffic_shaping_with_tcTraffic shaping with tc]].
