I have a CentOS 7.2 installed on a storage server with 8 nics, I need to connect the server to 2 different switches as follows:
Code: Select all
| |
|port2 port2|
+-----+----+ +-----+----+
| | | |
| switch A + + switch B |
| | | |
+-----+----+ +-----++---+
|port1,2,3,4 port1,2,3,4|
| +-------+ |
+-------------+ host1 +---------------+
eth0 +-------+ eth4
eth1 eth5
eth2 eth6
eth3 eth7
Lets say we have 2 teams:
group1 -> eth0,eth1,eth2,eth3
group2 -> eth4,eth5,eth6,eth7
group2 will be group1 active backup and viceversa; each group should work internally as loadbalace or lacp (I still need to decide it).
I've already read the old bonding module documentation, and I know something similar can be done using broadcast conf. but is not exactly what I need, I read the teamd documentation too but I was not able to find any reference to the setup I need.
I already configured a simple activebackup team with all nics, so I know the basics.
Can this be achieved with ony one time, two teams or not achievet at all?
thanks and regards.
