any tool to help configure bonding?

Hi all,

Im trying to configure 2 ethernet cards to use bonding to increase the
throughput.

I=B4m using /usr/share/doc/iputils-20020927/README.bonding to learn how to =
do
it, but I have a question

With system-config-network is it posible to do it? or I have to manually
edit the files in /etc/sysconfig/

Thanks

As far as i know there is no bonding-configurator in
system-config-network, you have to configure the bonds direct in
/etc/sysconfig and add the bonding options in the modprobe.conf e.g.

options bonding max-bonds=1
options bond0 -o bonding1 miimon=50 mode=1

for detailed bond-configs see [1]
