I have a 15.6 on Dell R720XD I’m trying to setup nic teaming LACP mode for. I’ve tried several different configurations methods (different content in ifcfg- files).
NIC card is
What I tried in /etc/sysconfig/network:
I created a ifcfg-bond0 file, assigned it as a master, assigned 3 of the NICS as slaves, LACP mode, edited the slave files several different ways, startmode=(auto, onboot) tried both.
However when it comes time to bring the bond0 interface up, fails.
Then I read somwhere that if NIC teaming in LACP mode, I have to use wicked.
What I tried in /etc/wicked:
- Created ifcfg-team0 file with below lines
STARTMODE=‘onboot’
BOOTPROTO=‘static’
IPADDR=‘10.1.1.99/16’
GATEWAY='10.1.1.1’up
TEAM_MASTER=‘team0’
TEAM_MODE=‘LACP’
TEAM_RUNNERS=‘em1 em2 em3’
- Created ifcfg-em# files for the 3 slaves with below lines
STARTMODE=‘onboot’
TEAM_SLAVE=‘yes’
TEAM_MASTER=‘team0’
Brought interfaces down/up, but all I get is ‘lo up’
sudo wicked ifdown all
sudo wicked ifup all team0
Finally I find that I need to install teamd which includes teamdctl. Makes sense, except zypper install teamd doesn’t even find teamd when the server back online with 1 interface.
My current network manager is wicked. My Network Engineer has already configured the switch ports to handle LACP teaming, he’s done this many times for our Windows servers so I trust his config.
Without being able to install teamd, I’m pretty much out of ideas.
Any help and suggestions greatly appreciated!
