Forum Topic - Does QNX support Cahnnel bonding or link aggregation ?: (4 Items)
   
Does QNX support Cahnnel bonding or link aggregation ?  
Hi, I need bonding support on my NICs for redundancy. As far as I understand, QNX does not support this right now 
(besides of QNET, I need it to comunicate with a Windows PC).

But I've seen that io-pkt is much more closely tracks the NetBSD stack source and drivers and utilities should port much
 easier to QNX io-pkt. So I was wondering if when the transition is ready (is there an estimated date for that ?) 
perhaps support for this would be ready too ?




Thanks a lot,
Rodrigo

In the NetBSD world what you may want is called "agr", but it isn't 
currently supported in io-pkt.

You may have luck with some clever "pf" rules though depending on 
exactly what you're trying to do...

If you want to discuss dates I suggest you go through the support channels.

Cheers!

Yes, 'agr' is what I was referring to port. Sorry, I was not clear enough.

I need to have one IP addr and that if one card fails, the other one takes over with the same IP. I need it for 
redundancy.

Do you have any idea what this pf rules would look like and if it is possble to do it on QNX 6.3.2 ?




Thanks a lot,

AFAIK pf is only in io-pkt. Maybe there is something else that can be 
used for io-net..?
