Why one of virtual NICs called bond0?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I just took over a very old network cluster(no documents and manual left) so I have to imagine the meaning of configuration by myself. Some of the servers' IP configure as following(when I issue ifconfig)
bond0: flags=5187<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MASTER,MULTICAST>
inet 10.1.237.11 netmask 255.255.255.192 broadcast 10.1.237.63
ether 6c:90:af:68:5a:28 txqueuelen 0 (Ethernet)
bond0.901: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>
inet 147.146.67.13 netmask 255.255.255.240 broadcast 147.146.67.15
ether 6c:90:af:68:5a:28 txqueuelen 0 (Ethernet)
bond0.901:1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>
inet 147.185.211.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 147.185.211.255
ether 6c:90:af:68:5a:28 txqueuelen 0 (Ethernet)
eth2: flags=6211<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SLAVE,MULTICAST>
ether 6c:90:af:68:5a:28 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
eth3: flags=6211<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SLAVE,MULTICAST>
ether 6c:90:af:68:5a:28 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0
loop txqueuelen 0 (Local Loopback)
From the same mac address, I can see there is only one NIC. I was told that bond0 for inner IP, bond0.901 for internet IP, bond0.901:1 for Anycast IP. So my question is that what do eth2 and eth3 for and why one of the virtual NIC called bond0, is there anything need to be bond together?
When I issued the command: lspci|grep Ether, I got the following:

I suspect that eth2, and eth3 are the physical devices that make up the bond0 device. See the master/slave flags. But your system probably has 2 physical interfaces, these are being combined in some kind of fault tolerance, or link aggregation setup. Try looking at the output of these tools which query the physical hardware lspci | grep Ether, or lshw -class network. You probably will see at least 2 interfaces.
bond0: flags=5187<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MASTER,MULTICAST>
eth2: flags=6211<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SLAVE,MULTICAST>
eth3: flags=6211<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SLAVE,MULTICAST>
The contents of the file /proc/net/bonding/bond0 would tell you more.
- Bonding docs https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/bonding#ethernet-device-renaming
The bond0.901 is a virtual device allowing for a tagged vlan 901 on bond0.
The bond0.901:1 is just an secondary IP address for the bond0.901 VLAN 901 interface. This is not a real interface, or even a virtual one. This 'interface' is just just a way for ifconfig to show you the second address. But it is a deprecated tool that can give you confusing output like this. Use ip addr, or ip link instead.

No idea what it is for, and no idea where it is configured. There is no way for me to possibly know what it is for. It is probably something local to your network environment. The location for the configuration is distro specific. On Debian it might be under /etc/network/interfaces, but it might also be under /etc/systemd/network, or maybe one of a dozen other places.

bond0: flags=5187<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MASTER,MULTICAST>
eth2: flags=6211<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SLAVE,MULTICAST>
eth3: flags=6211<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SLAVE,MULTICAST>
The contents of the file /proc/net/bonding/bond0 would tell you more.
- Bonding docs https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/bonding#ethernet-device-renaming
The bond0.901 is a virtual device allowing for a tagged vlan 901 on bond0.
The bond0.901:1 is just an secondary IP address for the bond0.901 VLAN 901 interface. This is not a real interface, or even a virtual one. This 'interface' is just just a way for ifconfig to show you the second address. But it is a deprecated tool that can give you confusing output like this. Use ip addr, or ip link instead.

No idea what it is for, and no idea where it is configured. There is no way for me to possibly know what it is for. It is probably something local to your network environment. The location for the configuration is distro specific. On Debian it might be under /etc/network/interfaces, but it might also be under /etc/systemd/network, or maybe one of a dozen other places.

Modern Linux systems no longer even installifconfigandrouteby default anymore, unless some legacy package gets installed that needs them. It's a good idea to get out of the habit of using them.
