| Summary | 0017162: Bond MII Status: down in new kernel with ARP monitoring (was MII Status: up in previous kernel) | ||||
| Description | After upgrading the kernel from 2.6.32-754.27.1.el6.x86_64 to 2.6.32-754.28.1.el6.x86_64 I found that my public network bond (using ARP monitoring in active/backup) is behaving differently. Specifically, the MII Status on my primary NIC for the bond is reporting "down" when in the previous kernel (and for as long before that as I know) it reports "up". I.E, with the older kernel: # cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.7.1 (April 27, 2011) Bonding Mode: fault-tolerance (active-backup) Primary Slave: eth0 (primary_reselect always) Currently Active Slave: eth0 MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 0 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 ARP Polling Interval (ms): 1000 ARP IP target/s (n.n.n.n form): 1.1.1.1 Slave Interface: eth0 MII Status: up Speed: 1000 Mbps Duplex: full Link Failure Count: 1 Permanent HW addr: <snip> Slave queue ID: 0 Slave Interface: eth3 MII Status: up Speed: 1000 Mbps Duplex: full Link Failure Count: 1 Permanent HW addr: <snip> Slave queue ID: 0 And with the newer kernel: # cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.7.1 (April 27, 2011) Bonding Mode: fault-tolerance (active-backup) Primary Slave: eth0 (primary_reselect always) Currently Active Slave: eth0 MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 0 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 ARP Polling Interval (ms): 1000 ARP IP target/s (n.n.n.n form): 1.1.1.1 Slave Interface: eth0 MII Status: down Speed: 1000 Mbps Duplex: full Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: <snip> Slave queue ID: 0 Slave Interface: eth3 MII Status: up Speed: 1000 Mbps Duplex: full Link Failure Count: 1 Permanent HW addr: <snip> Slave queue ID: 0 Since I'm using ARP monitoring: BONDING_OPTS="mode=1 arp_interval=1000 arp_ip_target=1.1.1.1 arp_validate=3 primary=eth0" perhaps the MII Status is irrelevant anyway; but I'm just wanting to make sure there aren't any unforeseen problems (I.E., if there is a NIC bounce, that it works properly and is able to go back to eth0 when it comes back up). As far as I can tell the bond is working properly. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | In kernel 2.6.32-754.27.1.el6.x86_64, eth0 is always MII Status: up. In kernel 2.6.32-754.28.1.el6.x86_64, eth0 is always MII Status: down. | ||||
