RHEL7: lacp bond device inaccessible after starting Docker

Solution In Progress - Updated -

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.
ethtool -t enoX

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3
  • lacp bonding
    • bnx2x slaves
  • Docker
