separate network interfaces
by old-hell from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5KHK1)
Is there a way to separate the network interfaces?
problem:
I'm having a bunch of devices that need to be updated.
To make a kind of load balancing, I want the devices to connect to 4 ethernet ports (bonding is not possible cause the switch is not managed by me).
I'm using bind to make a round-robin, so the first device connects to port 1, the second device connects to port 2 .... this works fine but
only the first port sends the data back. But I need every separate port to send the data back to get the full bandwidth of every port and not only on one port.
is there a way to handle that?
/etc/network/interfaces
best regards.
