Fixed In Version: NetworkManager-1.43.3-1.el9
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Feature: NetworkManager now extends support for the "lacp_active" option in bonding configurations. This option controls the periodic transmission of Link Aggregation Control Protocol Data Units (LACPDU) frames. Reason: The inclusion of "lacp_active" enhances NetworkManager's ability to manage bonding configurations that require fine-grained control over LACPDU frames, complying with the kernel documentation. Result: Users can now leverage this feature to adjust the behavior of LACPDU transmissions in bonding setups. By setting "lacp_active" to 'on' or 'off', they can respectively enable or disable the periodic transmission of LACPDU frames, adding to the flexibility and customization of their network configurations.
