The other thing is that I wanted to simulate the switch powering off and
having it auto failover to the second switch that the other half of the
bond is connected to. This isn't possible in my simulation setup so
manually will have to do for now.
Just wanted to confirm that the "ifdown ethX" and "ifup ethX" worked for
at least a manual cutover simulation, so thanks again.
