Hello, 1.8 is quite old version so I'd recommend updating to the most recent version first. But in general, you should define these interfaces in host form. To create a bond you have to define bonded interfaces first so create eth0 and eth1. Then create a new interface of type bond and use identifiers that you used for eth0 and eth1 as bonded devices. Since you want to also create a vlan on top of the bond, you have to define 4th vlan interface. To do it, keep type to Interface but set the identifier to bond0.1 assuming the bond identifier was set to bond0. Check virtual NIC checkbox and set the tag to 2 and attached to to bond0. Repeat the steps above for all eth0-6, bond1-3 and vlans (bond1.2, bond2.3, bond3.4) so 12 interfaces in total. Note that the networking info like subnet, IP etc should be configured on vlan interfaces only. Just the mac address might be needed on others. If you want to make an interface that is being used for provisioning also part of the bond, your switch should be configured to LACP passive since the bond is configure as the last step of the provisioning. In other words, your switch must allow non-aggregated traffic for provisioning and aggregated traffic for communication afterwards. I'm not entirely sure if provisioning can work if it requires a provisioning interface traffic to be tagged. Maybe with native vlan. I'm not a network expert so I'm sorry if I misunderstood something. -- Marek -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Foreman users" group.
