I'm not even sure they can do link aggregation (one is a Dell PC2708), that would make more sense than the so-called bonding. I think I have two manageable switches that I'm either using or in storage, but running them unmanaged at the moment. but this shouldn't be a problem at all.ĭesktop: Ryzen 5 5600G, 32GB, 2TB, RX6600Īt the physical layer, how does the "other" computer connected to the switch chose which bonded interface to send to.this seems very messed up IMHO, seems to require the other machine to know the topology of the machine with the bonded interface. If the usb disconnects and you have something like active-standby config, it will continue to run your network after maybe 2-5 loss packets. Mostly you wont get more then the typical 10-12mb/s throughput, even with lacp, because "one bit" cannot be devided at last if you use something like round robin, there is a chance, that you can use it without a managed switch, but it will not really improve throughput. if you want a bit more "bandwdith" you need a managed switch, where you can config either lacp (802.3ad) or something similiarĢ. In theory, yes, you can bond them, but.ġ. Anyone tried this and if it works, had good scalable results? Other than a USB2 HDD, I wonder if this is a legit way to get data faster in/out of this machine. If that works, what happens if the USB disconnects? One of the Ethernets disconnects?Ĭould I also bond the 802.11n and get all three to speed data along? I have an old laptop PC with built-in 10/100 Ethernet, no USB3, no PCMCIA, and 802.11n that seems to top out at 7MB/sec on a good day.Ĭan I bond the two Ethernet devices together and plug both network connectors into two ports of a Gbit switch, and have them communicate to a machine with a native single Gbit Ethernet at 20MB/sec with no software hacks on that machine? I suspect a 10/100 switch with a GbitEthernet uplink to a Gbit machine should work similarly instead of wasting two Gbit ports? Posted: Thu 7:26 am Post subject: Linux network bonding.
