I wrote this last year. I've found no other description that lays out the difficulties of KVM bridges, tagged VLAN's, and pair bonding.
https://wikis.uit.tufts.edu/confluence/display/TUSKpub/Configure+Pair+Bondin...
I'm not working for that university anymore, so I've not had an opportunity to update it. But it's pretty complete. The anaconda with its internal use of NetworkManager tools that come from upstream *cannot be convinced* to properly configure these settings, they're simply not available setup options. You have to set them up manually on the KVM server after basic OS installation.
These are some of the reasons I reject NetworkManager for any server setups or virtualization environments. It lacks the most basic setup features such as pair bonding or bridge setups, and I've not yet seen evidence of improvement in the upstream codebase.

Hi,
Wondering if this is the proper bridging technique to use for Centos6+KVM;

Before I embark on this again, I would like to do it by the book.
Thanks in advance,
