Once the KVM host has restarted and is operational, you need to verify that the network has been updated.

  1. Enter the following command to verify that the bridge and interface configuration files are working:
    IP link
    The output should contain the following text:
    Interface-Configuration-File1: <BROADCAST, MULTICAST, SLAVE, UP, LOWER_UP>
    Interface-Configuration-File2: <BROADCAST, MULTICAST, SLAVE, UP, LOWER_UP>
    Interface-Configuration-File3: <BROADCAST, MULTICAST, SLAVE, UP, LOWER_UP>
    Interface-Configuration-File4: <BROADCAST, MULTICAST, SLAVE, UP, LOWER_UP>
    Front-End-Bridge-File: <BROADCAST, MULTICAST, UP, LOWER_UP>
    Back-End-Bridge-File: <BROADCAST, MULTICAST, UP, LOWER_UP>
    
  2. Enter the following command to verify that the bond0 file is operational:
    cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0
    The output should contain the following text:
    Primary Slave: eno1 (primary_reselect always)
    Currently Active Slave: Interface-Configuration-File1
    MII Status: up
    MII Polling Interval (ms): 100 Up Delay (ms): 3000
    Down Delay (ms): 500
    Slave Interface: Interface-Configuration-File3
    MII Status: up Speed: 1000 Mbps Duplex: full
    Link Failure Count: 0 Slave queue ID: 0
    Slave Interface: Interface-Configuration-File1
    MII Status: up Speed: 1000 Mbps Duplex: full
    Link Failure Count: 0 Slave queue ID: 0
    
  3. Enter the following command to verify that the bond1 file is operational:
    cat /proc/net/bonding/bond1
    The output should contain the following text:
    Bonding Mode: fault-tolerance (active-backup)
    Primary Slave: Interface-Configuration-File2 (primary_reselect always)
    Currently Active Slave: Interface-Configuration-File2
    MII Status: up
    MII Polling Interval (ms): 100
    Up Delay (ms): 3000
    Down Delay (ms): 500
    
    Slave Interface: Interface-Configuration-File2
    MII Status: up
    Speed: 1000
    Mbps Duplex: full
    Link Failure Count: 0
    Slave queue ID: 0
    
    Slave Interface: Interface-Configuration-File4
    MII Status: up
    Speed: 1000
    Mbps Duplex: full
    Link Failure Count: 0
    Slave queue ID: 0
