bkandor Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Hi, I have one port eth0 that I'm not using (it's on the mainboard) and I have a 2port intel nic which I have plugged into a managed switch, where those two ports are bonded (switch has different modes such as src-dst-ip or src-dst-mac etc. ( I've tried both of those). In unraid, I'm ignoring eth0 and setting eth1 and 2 to be bonded. But when I try to set the bond to mode 4 unraid locks up (in fact any mode I select causes a long update) and ultimately reverts to mode 1 active backup. Everything on the switch side seems fine (and I have 4 other bonds working fine). Maybe it's because I have the unused eth0 and that is causing some confusion? Thanks, Quote Link to comment
demonmaestro Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I am having the same issues basically. So this is an OS issue. Quote Link to comment

Unraid expects eth0 to be used for its GUI. At the bottom of the page you can set which physical port is eth0 by selecting its MAC address. I'd move your unused port to eth2 and use eth0 and eth1 in the bond. Quote Link to comment
bkandor Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Hi, thanks - I think you are right. I've tried to reset using eth0 and eth1 - but now I've ended up stuck with 2 bond groups. eth1 is on bond1 and eth0 is on bond0 and I can't seem to reset or delete bond1 so that I can join these together?

John_M Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 First edit eth1 to remove it from any bonds. Then edit eth0 to add eth1 to its bond0. Quote Link to comment
bkandor Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Hi, that worked thanks! So I finally have bond0 with eth0 and eth1 using protocal 4 (802.3ad) - but it isn't actually working on the switch, to the switch it appears they are still working in a backup mode. Very odd.

John_M Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Maybe try toggling away from protocol 4, Apply, then back to protocol 4, Apply. Quote Link to comment
bkandor Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hi, I did do that and was successful getting protocol 4 bonding enabled. Strangely though, even though it's enabled on both the switch and the unraid box, it isn't functioning the way my qnap or win server bonds are. i.e. I can never see bond0 throughput go over 1000 mbps - which I can on other devices regularly.

Did you get this working as I’m having the same issue. It’s using eth0 for receive and eth1 for send on bond0. Quote Link to comment
