Hi,
I am running Debian 7 with two NICs bonded using 802.3ad and would like to change the xmit_hash_policy from the default layer2 to layer3+4. For this purpose I have added to my bond0 iface definition in /etc/network/interfaces the following parameter:
xmit_hash_policy layer3+4
Unfortunately it looks like it has no effect because /proc/net/bonding/bond0 still shows:
Transmit Hash Policy: layer2 (0)
Also manually trying to set this option fails:
# echo 1 >/sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/xmit_hash_policy
bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted
Does anyone have any idea?
Regards,
M.L.
