If I remember correctly the issue in this thread had to do with the interfaces failing to pass traffic (unless in promisc). Are you not able to pass traffic after you set the MTU? > >This is what I do to reproduce the issue. > >I'm running OVM Server 3.0.3, kernel is 2.6.32.21-45xen > >eth2 and eth3 makes up the bonded interface bond0. Each interface are >connected to a different NEM/switch. eth2 is supposed to be the active >interface and eth3 the backup slave of my bond0, see ifcfg-bond0 file: >BONDING_OPTS="mode=1 miimon=100 use_carrier=0 primary=eth2 >primary_reselect=2" > >When I boot, the "Currently active slave" is eth2 as expected. >As soon as I change the MTU size (ifconfig bond0 mtu 9000), the bond0 >interface fails over to eth3. See messages: When you set the MTU the interface is reset which is causing the link to go down and the bonding driver to switch to the slave interface. If your issue is related to the switching of the active interface then perhaps you should change your config to set the MTU before bringing up the bonding interface.
