May 24, 20197 yr I just added a mellanox sfp+ interface and gbic to both my pc and my unraid server. Both are connected to a Mikrotik 10gig switch. The whole systems functions and I do have an increased transfer speed. However... I used to have an active-backup bond as network connection, this used to be 2 1gig utp network connections and things were fine. Initially I changed the bond and interface assignment to have the 10gig mellanox as eth0 with eth3 (the old primary utp 1gig) in the bond. When I set it up like that my transfer speeds seem to be limited by the speed of eth3.. I solved this for now by removing eth3 from the bond (having a bond now with only eth0 in it), this works and gives a big increase in transfer speed. Ofcourse I would like to get my bond back.. Is there some way of making this work with the 10gig beiing the primary link that is allways used and the 1 gig only used when the 10gig fails ?
May 30, 20197 yr Check the current active interface cat /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/active_slave Change the current active interface echo eth0 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/active_slave
February 16, 20233 yr This is great and works but is there a way to always force an interface as active one ? I have a 2.5gpbs interface and one 1gpbs, I would prefer Unraid to use by default the fastest one
