Hi All,
I need some help figuring this one out... Whenever I try to add a bond
to a
bridge, I get back an invalid argument error. I've confirmed this on
3.2-rc6, 3.1.5, 3.0.13, and 2.6.39.4 (haven't checked earlier kernels).
Here's my setup: 32bit KVM virtual machine with no network cards (...
-net
none ... ).
I created the bond with: echo "+x" > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
I created the bridge with: brctl addbr b
I try to add the bond to the bridge with: brctl addif b x
--
Thanks,
Dyweni

Add an interface to the bond, then add the bond to the bridge.
bond without interface = 00:00:00:00:00:00 MAC = invalid.

The bonding device inherits its MAC address from the slave
devices. Therefore until the you add a slave to the bonding device
it's MAC address isn't set (all zeros). Bridging is not allowed
without a valid MAC address.
The solution is to fully configure the bonding device before adding
to the bridge.
