Our typical server deployment is primary network link to one switch and back up link to a second switch. This allows for my network admin to do switch maintenance with out any down time. So in our ovirt deployment we have bonded link for one server going to switch 1 and on server 2 we have a bonded link going to switch 2. We have to manually put the server in maintenance mode before he could do any switch maintenance. If there was an actual switch outage, we would have to wait for the system to restart the HA VM's on the other server.</div>

<div>Hello Bryan,<br />

I'm afraid it is not possible with oVirt. You can only attach NICs to a bonding via the way Arthur suggested.<br />

<div>I would argue that such a setup is problematic. The bond link goes down only when all its slaves are down, therefore, if you loose one slave, the BW is decreased and the backup will not take over.</div>
<div>Using 3 or 4 slaves bond can allow you to get both increased BW and redundancy.<br />

<div><span>Hello!<br />
I'm new(-ish) to oVirt and have a question regarding network.</span></div>
<div><span>I currently use vmware, the hosts have 4 nic each and connected to two switches in stack(extreme), i have two vSwitch with two nic each setup in active/standby, with this i don't have to do anything with the physical switch.</span></div>
<div>
<div><span>So how do i do this setup on oVirt so i don't need to configure the switches?<br />
I know how to bond the cards, but i am afraid of a switchloop, so i just want to make sure that does not happen.</span><br />
