==== Ubuntu ====

Install ethtool and ifenslave:

  apt-get install ethtool
  apt-get install ifenslave

Edit /etc/network/interfaces as follows:

<code>
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static
    address 10.0.0.10
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 10.0.0.0
    broadcast 10.0.0.255
    gateway 10.0.0.1
    dns-nameservers 10.0.0.1
    slaves eth0 eth1
    bond_mode 0
    bond_miimon 100
    bond_updelay 200
    bond_downdelay 200
</code>

Afterwards
<code>
/etc/modprobe.d# cat bonding.conf
alias bond0 bonding
options bonding mode=1 miimon=100                    #mode 0 = loadbalancing, mode 1 = active-backup
</code>
or
<code>
/etc/modprobe.d# cat bonding.conf
alias netdev-bond0 bonding
#alias bond0 bonding
options bonding mode=1 miimon=100
</code>


Finally execute

  ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1   #Make slave devices
  
Alternativly:

<code>
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static
    address 192.168.64.124
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 192.168.64.0
    broadcast 192.168.64.255
    gateway 192.168.64.1
    dns-nameservers 192.168.63.4 192.168.63.8
    post-up ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth2
    pre-down ifenslave -d bond0 eth0 eth2
</code>

Edit /etc/modules and add:
  bonding mode=active-backup miimon=100 primary=eth0
