RHEL7: lacp bond device inaccessible after starting Docker
Issue
- Starting docker causes the system to be unreachable; this is found to be correlated to the LACP bond, as setting an active-backup bond does not cause the issue. bringing the interface(s) down and back up with ifdown/ifup makes the issue no longer happen.
- A similar problem happens after NIC test. After running below command network becomes unreachable.
