I'm also going to copy/paste an answer I posted somewhere else: Also, as noted on IRC, bond-primary seems to be limited to active-backup only. For reference: http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt Here's a minimal 802.3ad config:
---- # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # Link Aggregation bonding auto bond0 iface bond0 inet static bond-slaves none bond-mode 802.3ad bond-miimon 100 address 172.22.15.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 172.22.15.1 auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual bond-master bond0 auto eth1 iface eth1 inet manual bond-master bond0 ---- Please try with a config similar to that one as I'd expect kernel errors when trying to change options that don't exist in 802.3ad mode. Looking at "dmesg | grep bond" may also give some clues as to what's wrong. That's with my proposed ifenslave package, the one in Oneiric and in former Ubuntu releases is known to have a race condition so at this point I'm only interested in feedback on the one that's in my PPA as that's the one I'll push to Precise and use for SRUs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/889423 Title: 802.3ad bonding not configured correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/889423/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
