VLAN tagging (802.1q) failover on bonded interface not working in RHEL 6.3?
Issue
- Network interfaces are bonded together using active-backup mode and vlan tagged interfaces are created on top of the bond.
- Bonding works perfectly but failover does not happen if the current active interface goes down.
[root@xxxx ~]# cat /sys/class/net/bond0.131/operstate

- This works properly if vlan tagging is not used.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3
- Bonded Network Interfaces and VLAN tagging (802.1q)
