Hello,
I host few Virtual Machines based on OpenVZ. I have additional range of IPs for the VMs. I created virtual gateway ifcfg-eth0:0 with the first usable IP from this range so I could assign them for VMs.
I have two physical NICs, the question is:
1. How the network is working in Centos. Is the traffic going through both of the network cards or do I have to bond them.
If so I found this tutorial:
hxxp://www.howtoforge.com/network_card_bonding_centos
2. What is the best bond mode to increase the connectivity speed in my case
3. How do I assign the additional range after I bond the interfaces. Do I still need to create 'ifcfg-eth0:0' or maybe something like 'ifcfg-bond0:0'
Regards
