Is there a way to connect two bonds directly without using LACP?

I have a specific case where a need this scenario 

Do you know, technically, why this won't work? I've trying to make it work, 
sometimes (~50%) the ping works and sometimes the ping doesn't work, I mean the 
ARP packets are not being dropped, do you know why this works sometimes?

Thanks for your help,
David

You can't use slb or active-backup like that.  They expect to be plugged into 
ports a dumb switch, not to another bond of the same type on the other side.  
If you want to connect two bonds directly, use lacp.
