Can you share a full example of how it all works together?
Thanks,

Please disregard - it's been so long I forgot that files had to end in
".conf". Also assumed that "max_bonds" did something else.
Working quite nicely now! Three instances of the bonding driver and a pile
of VLANs load automatically on boot now.
Cheers

Hi list,
This isn't ISP-specific but I know quite a few run this driver.
I'm attempting to roll a new router/firewall using Debian 9 and am hitting a
wall with the bonding module. The last time I configured bonding was on
Squeeze (Debian 6), I did through adding
"alias bond0 bonding
options bonding <whatever>"
into /etc/modprobe.d/aliases.conf, and adding some shortcuts in
/etc/network/interfaces to call ifenslave.
I see now that the preferred method is to do everything in the interfaces
file, by passing options like "bond_mode" and so on.
The issue I'm running into is that I can't get the bonding driver to load on
boot. After a fresh boot, "ifup" returns "no such device". I must manually
modprobe bonding in order to get it running. This happens despite adding the
above options into a file in /etc/modprobe.d. For similar reasons - or so I
assume - I can't get additional bonds to work unless I manipulate
/sys/class/net/bonding_masters as suggested here
https://ubuntuforums.org/printthread.php?t=1119460
It seems the real problem is that things I put into /etc/modules or a file
under /etc/modprobe.d are ignored.
Are things done differently now? I mostly missed Debian 8, it wouldn't
surprise me if I'm just ignorant.
Thanks
Ross
