# 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
-----8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<-----
