Problem using vlan trunking with bond interfaces

Bob WeinmannApr 30 2015 — edited May 4 2015

Is anybody using vlan trunking with network bonds?  I can configure a network bond using 802.3ad on my 3.3.2 ovm environment, but when I try to use vlan interfaces with the bond, it stops working reliably.  Symtoms are indicative of one port in the bond not working.

One thing I see when we have vlan trunking configured, is that the aggregator id of the two ports in the bond are not the same.  Normally, the aggregator ids of the bond and slave ports should all be the same.  Here is the contents of /proc/net/bonding/bond1 when trunking is configured.  Also, there is no partner mac address.

Any ideas?
