ifupdown2 /e/n/interfaces does not accept bond-mode broadcast but 3

[sigmarb]

Hi Forum,

we use latest proxmox 7 and set the bond-mode in the web-interface to broadcast. /etc/network/interfaces contains bond-mode broadcast afterwards.

After rebooting the server, cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 shows active-backup.
Checking /e/n/interfaces again, bond-mode broadcast is still present.

Renaming bond-mode broadcast to (its numeric value)
bond-mode 3

fixed the issue.

Is this a known bug/problem?

Thank you.

I have looked in ifupdown2 code, "3" or "broadcast" should works.

Yes, but in our case, only 3 worked.

can you send me your /etc/network/interfaces ? I'll try to reproduce on my side.

also, you can send the result of "ifreload -a -d" with "broadcast" and with "3" .

This will launch ifreload in debug mode with traces.
