A couple of notes, however: * I don't see any reason for the existence of br20. If all of your VMs are going to be attached to cr20 (on bond1.20), you could simply assign the host OS IP to bond0.20. * If you're not already aware, not all bonding modes work well with VMs. Modes 1, 2 and 4 definitely work (although mode 1 can theoretically lose some of the packets destined for VMs in the event of a failover).
