Bonding and failover

Networking
1

I’ve got two questions:

  1. What abound bonding of two or more Ethernet Interfaces to one single Interface?
  2. How to create a failover connection with another Gateway (2nd router) any good practice?

Hi teejay,
did you ´ve seen the keepalived wiki --> https://wiki.ipfire.org/addons/keepalived ? May it delivers some solutions for you.

Best,

i’v 3 questions.
How many IPFire i’ll need for this(two or three)?

The green network is located at 172.20.32.0/24 where .1 is the exit router.
Two ipfires are setup as proxies for this network using these addresses:

  • 172.20.32.6 logical address
  • 172.20.32.7 real device address node1
  • 172.20.32.8 real device address node2

Default gateway should be 172.20.32.1 on green side as physical device? What’s about the others?

Hi,
i don´t use keepalived but i think you can configure starting in a minimum with two (master and slave) with up to 255 instances via the ‘virtual_router_id’ which live in the ‘vrrp_instance’ section.

For a deeper look into the configuration possibilities, take a look into here --> https://www.keepalived.org/doc/configuration_synopsis.html .

Best,

Erik
