Ethernet bonding with bridge device on CentOS 5.3 [message #37779]

Hi everyone

I'm planning to consolidate a pair of servers onto an existing "beast" box we have and since this beast has 2 GbE sockets and our switch supports dynamic 802.3ad link aggregation with LACP, I'm looking to have those 2 GbE sockets combined into a mode 4 bonded interface.

My first step will be to install the openvz kernel and get that running.
Then before I create any VEs I will get the bond created and working as per this guide... http://wiki.openvz.org/Bonding
Making a slight change to specify mode=4 in modprobe.conf

But how do I then go about combining a veth/bridge with my bond0 interface?

This was the veth tutorial I was planning to follow to setup veths for each VE
http://wiki.openvz.org/Virtual_Ethernet_device#Simple_config uration_with_virtual_Ethernet_device

Then adding each veth into the bridge device
http://wiki.openvz.org/Virtual_Ethernet_device#Virtual_Ether net_devices_can_be_joined_in_one_bridge

Because these are all "virtual" networking devices, I'm guessing (hoping!) it's something simple like just adding a route for all traffic to go from bond0 to br0 and vice-versa
However I have no idea how to do that

Is any of this correct?
Anyone got any pointers on how to combine my bonded link with a bridge device?
Is it even possible?

Cheers, B
