Subject: [PATCH proxmox 02/15] installer-types: answer: add options for configuring management bond
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 12:16:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908101647.1057780-3-c.heiss@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908101647.1057780-1-c.heiss@proxmox.com>
Adds a new subsection `bond` in [network]. This allows for configuring a
bond for the management network interface during the installation.
E.g.
[network.bond]
members = ["ab:cd:ef:12:34:56", "ab:cd:ef:12:34:57"]
mode = "active-backup"
hash-policy = "layer2+3"
primary-interface = "ab:cd:ef:12:34:57"
