Monitor Bonded Interface for Disconnection
- by bradlis7
I am trying to monitor for network failures on a machine, and one portion of that is to monitor interfaces that are intended to be active also be "RUNNING".
An Ethernet port, such as eth0, will say "RUNNING" if it is physically connected to another device.
The problem lies in the bonded interfaces, such as bond0. If all of the ethernet devices are disconnected, it still says that it is running, and it is still pingable. Is this by design, or is my system setup incorrectly? Does the miimon option have something to do with this?
