Applies to:
Oracle VM - Version 2.1 and laterOracle Cloud Infrastructure - Version N/A and later
Linux x86-64
Symptoms
Adaptive load balancing is often used to achieve redundancy of a network device (NIC) path. In the ifcfg-bondX
file, this is done manually by setting a bonding option of mode=balance-tlb
or mode=5
. This mode is desirable because it does not require any special configuration of the networking switches.
Attempting to create a virtual NIC using this bonding mode causes the Oracle VM Manager to issue the error:
Manually overriding this will produce ARP packet errors; see Oracle Document Oracle VM Release Notes for 3.2, paragraph 8.4.9 "ARP Packet Checksum Errors" for more details.
