# Example Configurations bond device
# ----------------------------------

In /etc/network/interfaces, the following stanza will configure bond0, in
802.3ad mode (mode 4), with eth0 and eth1 as slaves.

-----8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<-----

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet dhcp
 bond-slaves eth0 eth1
 bond-mode 4
 bond-miimon 100
 bond-primary eth0 eth1

-----8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<-----

If the above configuration doesn't work, you might have a system using
upstart for system startup. This is most notably true for recent
Ubuntu versions. The following stanza in /etc/network/interfaces will
produce the same result on those systems.

-----8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<-----

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet dhcp
 bond-slaves none
 bond-mode 4
 bond-miimon 100

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
 bond-master bond0
 bond-primary eth0 eth1

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
 bond-master bond0
 bond-primary eth0 eth1
