[Bug 823366] Re: bond_primary is ignored in /etc/network/interfaces

[Stéphane Graber]

Marking as fixed because the bug got resolved in Precise.

We won't be SRUing the fix to Lucid as we estimate the risks of regression to be too high but we'll SRU it to 11.10.
I'm going to use bug 889423 to track the SRU.

Title:
  bond_primary is ignored in /etc/network/interfaces

Status in “ifenslave-2.6” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The bond_primary declaration in /etc/network/interfaces is not working anymore in 10.04.3.
  Setting this value has no influence, it's always set to the lower interface number or none

  Workaround:

  iface bond0 inet static
    bond_slaves eth2 eth0
    bond_primary eth2
    bond_mode 1
    bond_arp_interval 2000
    bond_arp_ip_target 192.168.100.1
    #bond_num_grat_arp 10
    up echo eth2 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/primary
    up echo 10 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/num_grat_arp
    address  192.168.100.50
    netmask 255.255.255.192
    gateway 192.168.100.1
