GOAL
You need to create two different bonding configurations.
If you are using the "max_bonds="
tag the options cannot be set differently for each bond interface.
For example, you need bond0 which is eth0,eth2 to be mode=1 (activebackup) and bond1 which is eth1,eth3 to be mode=0
(roundrobin). So below would need to be appended to /etc/modprobe.conf:
install bond0 /sbin/modprobe bonding
o bond0 mode=1 miimon=50 downdelay=100 updelay=150 primary=eth0
install bond1 /sbin/modprobe bonding
o bond1 mode=0 miimon=100 downdelay=100 updelay=100 primary=eth1
Each configured bond interface needs an entry in /etc/modprobe.conf.
For more information refer to /usr/src/linux<kernel>/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt file and
section 3.3.1 Configuring Multiple Bonds Manually.
SOLUTION
1. Edit /etc/modprobe.conf and append following two lines:
install bond0 /sbin/modprobe bonding
o bond0 mode=1 miimon=50 downdelay=100 updelay=150 primary=eth0
install bond1 /sbin/modprobe bonding
o bond1 mode=0 miimon=100 downdelay=100 updelay=100 primary=eth1
2. Set up bond interfaces:
bond0:
# vi /etc/sysconfig/networkscripts/ifcfgbond0
DEVICE=bond0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
bond1:
# vi /etc/sysconfig/networkscripts/ifcfgbond1
DEVICE=bond1
BOOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=10.0.0.255
IPADDR=10.0.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=10.0.0.0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
3. Configure ethernet interfaces:
For bond0:
# vi /etc/sysconfig/networkscripts/ifcfgeth0
DEVICE=eth0
USERCTL=no
MASTER=bond0
ONBOOT=no
SLAVE=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
# vi /etc/sysconfig/networkscripts/ifcfgeth2
DEVICE=eth2
USERCTL=no
MASTER=bond0
ONBOOT=no
SLAVE=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
For bond1:
# vi /etc/sysconfig/networkscripts/ifcfgeth1
DEVICE=eth1
USERCTL=no
MASTER=bond1
ONBOOT=no
SLAVE=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
# vi /etc/sysconfig/networkscripts/ifcfgeth3
DEVICE=eth3
USERCTL=no
MASTER=bond1
ONBOOT=no
SLAVE=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
4. Reboot the system for the changes to take effect or manually restart the network.

5. Check Setup.
Will show the bonding module is loaded twice which is required for this type of configuration.
