Thanks Robin,
here is a sample. If you want to use tagged vlans it will be slightly different. Let me know if you want a tagged vlan sample.
Followed you samples and team is working just fine now. Tested both nics for failover and never lost a ping.
One question : Could you configure both interfaces so you could bind bandwith of both interfaces and still have failover?

Use 'mode=6' as the bonding option - doesn't need any special switch support.
There are other modes - look in Documentation/networking/bonding.txt (available in the kernel-sourcecode RPM)

mode=x is something I have not had a chance to experiment with. I have read the Documentation, but without actually testing each option I cannot decide what is the best for my situation. I would like to double my capacity as well as providing a failover so that if one link dies the other will still work.

I have not had time to test this, but the documentation states that it can be done with some of the other mode=x numbers, where the mode number represents different types of bonding ie. round robin, active/standby, etc..
Let us know which mode you go with.
