6 | Value representing the can_id of mailbox 0. | ||
7 | |||
8 | Default: 0x7ff (standard frame) | ||
9 | |||
10 | Due to a chip bug (errata 50.2.6.3 & 50.3.5.3 in | ||
11 | "AT91SAM9263 Preliminary 6249H-ATARM-27-Jul-09") the | ||
12 | contents of mailbox 0 may be send under certain | ||
13 | conditions (even if disabled or in rx mode). | ||
14 | |||
15 | The workaround in the errata suggests not to use the | ||
16 | mailbox and load it with an unused identifier. | ||
17 | |||
18 | In order to use an extended can_id add the | ||
19 | CAN_EFF_FLAG (0x80000000U) to the can_id. Example: | ||
20 | |||
21 | - standard id 0x7ff: | ||
22 | echo 0x7ff > /sys/class/net/can0/mb0_id | ||
23 | |||

1336 | ----------------------------------------- | ||
1337 | |||
1338 | This section applies to distros which use /etc/network/interfaces file | ||
1339 | to describe network interface configuration, most notably Debian and it's | ||
1340 | derivatives. | ||
1341 | |||
1342 | The ifup and ifdown commands on Debian don't support bonding out of | ||
1343 | the box. The ifenslave-2.6 package should be installed to provide bonding | ||
1344 | support. Once installed, this package will provide bond-* options to be used | ||
1345 | into /etc/network/interfaces. | ||
1346 | |||
1347 | Note that ifenslave-2.6 package will load the bonding module and use | ||
1348 | the ifenslave command when appropriate. | ||
1349 | |||
1350 | Example Configurations | ||
1351 | ---------------------- | ||
1352 | |||
1353 | In /etc/network/interfaces, the following stanza will configure bond0, in | ||
1354 | active-backup mode, with eth0 and eth1 as slaves. | ||
1355 | |||
1356 | auto bond0 | ||
1357 | iface bond0 inet dhcp | ||
1358 | bond-slaves eth0 eth1 | ||
1359 | bond-mode active-backup | ||
1360 | bond-miimon 100 | ||
1361 | bond-primary eth0 eth1 | ||
1362 | |||
1363 | If the above configuration doesn't work, you might have a system using | ||
1364 | upstart for system startup. This is most notably true for recent | ||
1365 | Ubuntu versions. The following stanza in /etc/network/interfaces will | ||
1366 | produce the same result on those systems. | ||
1367 | |||
1368 | auto bond0 | ||
1369 | iface bond0 inet dhcp | ||
1370 | bond-slaves none | ||
1371 | bond-mode active-backup | ||
1372 | bond-miimon 100 | ||
1373 | |||
1374 | auto eth0 | ||
1375 | iface eth0 inet manual | ||
1376 | bond-master bond0 | ||
1377 | bond-primary eth0 eth1 | ||
1378 | |||
1379 | auto eth1 | ||
1380 | iface eth1 inet manual | ||
1381 | bond-master bond0 | ||
1382 | bond-primary eth0 eth1 | ||
