Apologies if this isn't the forum for this.
I'm testing things out with corosync and I'm confused by "bindnetaddr". I've posted a similar question here: https://serverfault.com/questions/1126948/a-more-detailed-explanation-of-what-bindnetaddr-is
Though there's probably not going to be an answer there. So I'm asking here.
The question:
Reading the documentation, I'm seeing:
This doesn't really tell me anything.
If my machine has multiple physical network cards, or a bond with multiple vlans, do I have to set them all, or just the ones I'll be assigning ip addresses to?
From testing, it seems like it doesn't matter. Setting it to only 1 network still allows me to assign ip adresses to other ones.
Can someone give more detail on the purpose of this?
What is the purpose of `bindnetaddr`? Is it just ip ranges that are expected to exist on the machine? Or just one ip range?
I find the documentation isn't clear on any of this.

Code:
bindnetaddr
This specifies the network address the corosync executive should bind to.
For example, if the local interface is 192.168.5.92 with netmask 255.255.255.0, set bindnetaddr to 192.168.5.0. If the local interface is 192.168.5.92 with netmask 255.255.255.192, set bindnetaddr to 192.168.5.64, and so forth.
This may also be an IPV6 address, in which case IPV6 networking will be used. In this case, the full address must be specified and there is no automatic selection of the network interface within a specific subnet as with IPv4.
If IPv6 networking is used, the nodeid field must be specified.This doesn't really tell me anything.
