Ethernet bonding

jopsis · September 18, 2024 at 8:28 AM

Hello everyone,

I have a FIREBAT T8 Pro Plus on which I have just installed LibreELEC to use it as a media center.

It works perfectly; the system plays everything without problems, and I've also added certain Docker containers that make my day-to-day life easier.

This MiniPC has two Ethernet network interfaces, and in my previous configuration (Ubuntu), I had created bonding of the two network cards. But with LibreELEC, I haven't seen how to configure it. Is there a possibility to set it up or to add what's necessary to the OS to achieve bonding?

Ciao!

Code

ifconfig bond0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
ip link set eth0 master bond0
ip link set eth1 master bond0

Something like that ^ might work? .. I've no ideas how ConnMan will react to a bonded interface, or whether it will be persistent, or whether it kicks you from SSH at the same time (likely). LE will support the "iproute2" command-set (see https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentat…ing/bonding.txt) but we're not really designed for fancy network configurations. Our goal is less about having the fastest connection (although that's nice) but to ensure it's "fast enough" to play what you need without issues.
