Hi,
we are trying to switch our bonding modes from 1 (active-backup) to 6 (balance-alb). However it seems, that these bond devices are not always getting the MAC address from the same slave. Sometimes the device gets the MAC address of the first and sometimes of the second slave. Since only the MAC address of the first slave device is (can be) registered in DHCP, this breaks connectivity (about) every second time we boot the computer.
Is there a way to control which MAC address is assigned to the bonding device w/o configuring it explicitely in the ifcfg file?
Cheers frank
