Hello everybody,
I ran into a situation where it would have been awesome to have a passive fallback nic. Now I'm kind of stuck on how to achieve that.
The goal is:
2x 10g in bond-mode 802.3ad
1x 1g in bond-mode active-backup
Summary:
bond0 = 2x 10g in bond-mode 802.3ad
bond1 = 1x 1g in bond-mode 802.3ad
bond2 = bond0 + bond1 in bond-mode active-backup and bond-primary bond0
vmbr1 = bridge-ports bond2
Will this configuration work?
If it doesn't, why?
If it does, is there a better way?
Edit://
I tried the modified configuration, and it works as expected.
The remaining question is whether there is a more elegant way to achieve the same without bloating the configuration the way I did.
