ubuntu server bonding nic's

[brianmills]

Hi, I'm trying to setup bonding using 802.3ad.

I have a FreeNas server with bonded NIC's setup and they seem to be working.
I have 2 ubuntu 12.04 servers, I've just installed new Intel dual I350 NIC's in them.
I then used this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding to try and bond the nic's together.
They are both connected to a HP ProCurve 1810G 24 port switch, and I've setup trunk ports on the connections.
One server, is working, and the other is not.
I have installed ifenslave-2.6 package.
I've added 'bonding' to /etc/modules file
I've restarted networking, added bonding with 'sudo modprobe bonding'

On the server that doesn't work:
- /proc/net/bonding/bond0 doesn't exist
- the eth0 and eth1 interfaces don't come up when viewing ifconfig
- sudo ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1 command gives this error:
Master 'bond0': Error: handshake with driver failed. Aborting
- the bond0 interface does exist in ifconfig, and you can ping the static IP given to it, but nothing else.

Any Idea's why it doesn't come up on this server?

Can you post your /etc/network/interfaces file ?

That would have been useful of me. Here it is.

I've had a look at that link, the symptoms match, however after adding these lines in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases

alias bond0 bonding
options bonding mode=1 miimon=100 downdelay=200 updelay=200 max_bonds=1

and rebooting, no luck. On running
sudo ifup bond0

I get:
ifup: interface bond0 already configured

however, eth0 and eth1 are not listed on ifconfig
there is now a file/status in /proc/net/bonding/bond0

$ cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0
