Setting up channel bonding on different distributions

Edit online

There are three distribution partners that support Linux® on Z: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and Ubuntu Server. On each of the distribution systems, the setup of channel bonding is different. This chapter provides three different ways of doing step-by-step configuration of channel bonding:

Note: In this paper, we take SLES 12, RHEL 7, and Ubuntu 16.04 as example releases for bonding configuration. The earlier releases of each distribution should also support bonding, but the configuration details might be slightly different. Refer to the documentation provided by the distribution partners.
