March 13, 20215 yr Hello, I have the following interfaces: 10G NIC (set up as eth0) and a 1G NIC (set up as eth1) bonded together in active-backup. The bond works fine but it always defaults to eth1 for some reason, every time I reboot the server it switches back to eth1. I'm viewing the active slave using /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/active_slave and changing it using echo eth0 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/active_slave but I would really like the bond to always use eth0 when it's up. Any way to force it ? Thanks in advance for the help.
March 13, 20215 yr I am looking at this same setup with a 10G NIC in a PCI slot, and the MotherBoard 1G NICs. Haven't been successful in getting all the traffic to prioritize the 10G connection.... Hopefully someone has the answer!
