Find if initscripts or sysconfig has support for bonding

If you’re unsure whether your distro uses sysconfig or initscripts, or don’t know if it’s new enough, have no fear.

$ rpm -qf /sbin/ifup

It will respond with a line of text starting with either “initscripts” or “sysconfig,” followed by some numbers. This is the package that provides your network initialization scripts.

Next, to determine if your installation supports bonding, issue the command:

$ grep ifenslave /sbin/ifup

If this returns any matches, then your initscripts or sysconfig has support for bonding.
