Ethernet bonding round-robin not work when 1st interface down
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I'm trying to understand the bonding mode=0 (load balancing round-robin). Using eth0 & eth1, I created bond0 interface as the configuration below :
root@test-env1:~# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
DEVICE=bond0
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
USERCTL=no
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.57.91
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.57.1
BONDING_OPTS="mode=0 miimon=100"

root@test-env1:~# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

Then I tried to disconnect the cable of eth0, ping test reported that the IP became unreachable. I know that kind of failover scenario will definitely works with mode=1 (active-backup).

It also strange that when I rebooted the server with eth0 remain unplugged, bond interface didn't UP at all. Although the configuration still have eth1 as active/connected interface.
Bonding documentation said that balance-rr or mode 0 provides load balancing and fault tolerance. I just curious the know what kind of fault tolerance that provided by bonding mode=0.
mode
Specifies one of the bonding policies. The default is
balance-rr (round robin). Possible values are:
balance-rr or 0
Round-robin policy: Transmit packets in sequential
order from the first available slave through the
last. This mode provides load balancing and fault
tolerance.
Could someone help me figure it out whether the bond mode=0 requires both interface to be active? If yes, then how mode=0 provides the fault tolerance?

How do you configure your switch? In bonding documentation: "The balance-rr, balance-xor and broadcast modes generally require that the switch have the appropriate ports grouped together. The nomenclature for such a group differs between switches, it may be called an “etherchannel” (as in the Cisco example, above), a “trunk group” or some other similar variation."

As per the explanation from Mode 1 we can assume that for mode 0 both
slaves are active. So, in your case Whenever the packet reaches the
slave which is up you will be able to get response for your ping.
balance-rr or 0
Round-robin policy: Transmit packets in sequential order from the first available slave through the last. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
active-backup or 1
Active-backup policy: Only one slave in the bond is active. A different slave becomes active if, and only if, the active slave fails. The bond's MAC address is externally visible on only one port (network adapter) to avoid confusing the switch.
