  • bonding module not loading in Stretch

    From Ross Halliday@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 24 23:30:02 2017
    Hi list,

    This isn't ISP-specific but I know quite a few run this driver.

    I'm attempting to roll a new router/firewall using Debian 9 and am hitting a wall with the bonding module. The last time I configured bonding was on Squeeze (Debian 6), I did through adding

    "alias bond0 bonding
    options bonding <whatever>"

    into /etc/modprobe.d/aliases.conf, and adding some shortcuts in /etc/network/interfaces to call ifenslave.

    I see now that the preferred method is to do everything in the interfaces file, by passing options like "bond_mode" and so on.

    The issue I'm running into is that I can't get the bonding driver to load on boot. After a fresh boot, "ifup" returns "no such device". I must manually modprobe bonding in order to get it running. This happens despite adding the above options into a file
    in /etc/modprobe.d. For similar reasons - or so I assume - I can't get additional bonds to work unless I manipulate /sys/class/net/bonding_masters as suggested here https://ubuntuforums.org/printthread.php?t=1119460

    It seems the real problem is that things I put into /etc/modules or a file under /etc/modprobe.d are ignored.

    Are things done differently now? I mostly missed Debian 8, it wouldn't surprise me if I'm just ignorant.

    Thanks
    Ross

    Please disregard - it's been so long I forgot that files had to end in ".conf". Also assumed that "max_bonds" did something else.

    Working quite nicely now! Three instances of the bonding driver and a pile of VLANs load automatically on boot now.

    Cheers
    Ross

    Can you share a full example of how it all works together?

    Thanks,
