RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description masanari iida 2016-06-23 06:08:03 UTC
Description of problem:
RHEL7.2

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-1.0.6-27.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
(1) Configure bonding (mode 6)
# nmcli connection add type bond autoconnect no con-name bond0 ifname bond0 mode 6
# nmcli connection add type bond-slave autoconnect no ifname eno16777736 master bond0
# nmcli connection add type bond-slave autoconnect no ifname eno33554992 master bond0

(2) Manually change "ONBOOT=no" to "ONBOOT=yes" in
ifcfg-bond0 and ifcfg-bond-slave-eno files.

(3)Check configuration file.
Confirm no "arp_validate" option in  ifcfg-bond0 file.

# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
DEVICE=bond0
TYPE=Bond
BONDING_MASTER=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no
NAME=bond0
UUID=f99d7a7f-4a5e-4e49-8a6a-6f8196ee2007
ONBOOT=no
BONDING_OPTS=mode=balance-alb   <== 
IPADDR=192.168.78.158
PREFIX=24
GATEWAY=192.168.78.1
IPV6_PEERDNS=yes
IPV6_PEERROUTES=yes

(4) Enable the bonding
# nmcli c mod bond0 ipv4.method manual ipv4.address "192.168.78.158/24" ipv4.gateway "192.168.78.1"

(5) After reboot,  I can find the same messages in messages.

Actual results:
bond0: option arp_validate: mode dependency failed, not supported in mode balance-alb(6)

Expected results:
No warning about arp_validate in mode=6.

nm-device-bond.c
        value = nm_setting_bond_get_option_by_name (s_bond, NM_SETTING_BOND_OPTION_ARP_VALIDATE);
        /* arp_validate > 0 only valid in active-backup mode */
        if (   value
            && g_strcmp0 (value, "0") != 0
            && g_strcmp0 (value, "none") != 0
            && g_strcmp0 (mode, "active-backup") == 0)
                set_bond_attr (device, "arp_validate", value);
        else
                set_bond_attr (device, "arp_validate", "0");    <=
