Example: Bonding Interface w/ LACP (802.3ad)

This example configures a bond interface with two physical interfaces using LACP (IEEE 802.3ad) with fast timers:

• create a bond interface bond0
• add an ipv4 address to bond0
• assign phyiscal interfaces to bond0
• set the physical interfaces links to up
