Hi,

I’m not sure what you are trying to show with the posted command outputs.

Possibly something with the previous bonding configuration has gone lost. To get a better idea of your configuration, please post the content of the relevant ifcfg-* files (bond and interfaces) as found in /etc/sysconfig/network (e.g. ifcgf-bondX and ifcfg-ethX).

Also, how is your switch configured, and which type of bonding/teaming was configured originally?

Cheers,
Willem

Thank you for the idea of ​​providing！

You are welcome :slight_smile: And let us know how you go with getting it back working in bonding mode.

Cheers,
Willem

Sorry, identified user useless to do binding. 10 servers are all the same model installed Suse 10 SP3 system, in which six Gigabit NIC can reach 400M / s, while the four sets but only reach 200M / s. Using netxen_nic card.
