  • Want to know if the bonding module is an Active or Passive 802.3ad participant and can you configure it.
  • Does bonding driver for LACP support passive mode of operation similar to team's runner.active ?
  • The switch (Cisco NEXUS) allows you to specify a "Active/Passive" when using LACP. Is there a similar specification for the bonding driver?
