Bond does not receive a DHCP address

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We have configured an active-backup bond using NetworkManager. The bond get created, but no IP address is assigned to it. The logs show DHCP requests timing out over bond0.
    • When the bond is removed and a standalone interface is configured it receives the correct IP address.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9
  • A bonded interface with DHCP addressing
