Hello everyone, we have some R510 with the Dual-NIC Broadcom onboard and an PCIe Intel Single-Port GigE Card separately attached. We now setup a Linux Bonding (Debian Squeeze latest with ifenslave-2.6) using settings below and i want to ask if its okay or not to use one Broadcom and the Intel Card in a Bond together or if its better to use NICs from the same vendor for that (the 3rd NIC is a normal iface) We saw issues with SLES11 on R310 while bonding them (mode4 LACP) and using an IPSec Tunnel over this with the following error. so i want to ask 2012:05:24-09:42:22 seth kernel: [659323.689392] ppp0 received packet on queue 2, but number of RX queues is 1 bonding on that 510 is mode 1 active/backup. - here the config (eth0/1 is internal broadcom, eth2 intel pcie) - i dont think that this causes similar errors because only one card is active and not both the same time like on the SLES11 we have a mode=4 bonding. auto lo iface lo inet loopback # auto bond0 iface bond0 inet static address 10.1.30.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 10.1.30.1 bond_mode active-backup bond_miimon 100 bond_downdelay 200 bond_updelay 200 bond_primary eth0 slaves eth0 eth2 # auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 172.1.30.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
