fail_over_mac option

About fail_over_mac option


fail_over_mac option types

  • none or 0: (Default) This setting disables fail_over_mac and sets all of the bond and slave interfaces to the same MAC address. Usually first slave’s MAC address is allocated to all bond and slave interfaces.
  • active or 1: The bond interface’s MAC address is always the MAC address of the active slave interface. If the active slave interface is changed during a failover, the bond interface’s MAC address is then changed to match the new active slave’s MAC address.
  • follow or 2: The bond interface’s MAC address is fixed(Usually first slave’s MAC address is allocated) and it gives its MAC address to newly active slave interface. If the slave is changed during a failover, the active slave will get the MAC address of the bond interface and the formerly active slave interface receives the newly active slave’s MAC address.

Example running environment

  • Example bonding setting is in (Ref) Bonding Setting
  • Host OS: Mac OS
  • Guest OS: CentOS 7.7.1908
  • Hypervisor: VirtualBox


none or 0 option example

  • Default option
  • fail_over_mac=0
  • In VirtualBox environment, it is not work well.

  • bond0’s and slaves’(enp0s8 and enp0s9) MAC addresses are same.

(Ref) Bonding Setting

  • Basic bonding settings are like below.

Interfaces

  • Bonding Interface: bond0
  • Slave Interfaces: enp0s8, enp0s9

bond0

  • /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
  • IPADDR and PREFIX could be different.
  • fail_over_mac can set be from 0 to 2.
TYPE=Bond
BOOTPROTO=static
DEFROUTE=no
NAME=bond0
DEVICE=bond0
ONBOOT=yes
PREFIX=24
IPADDR=192.168.99.101
BONDING_OPTS="mode=1 miimon=100 fail_over_mac=1"

enp0s8, enp0s9

  • /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s8
NAME=enp0s8
DEVICE=enp0s8
TYPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
  • /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s9
NAME=enp0s9
DEVICE=enp0s9
TYPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
