Description of problem: The fix for bug #483711 cleans up /sys/class/net/bondX/bonding/arp_ip_target in ifdown. When using /etc/modprobe.conf to set the bonding options (and not BONDING_OPTS in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond<x>, ie old-style config), then the interface will not come up after a network restart because the arp_ip_target is not restored. BZ604669 takes care of the same issue on RHEL5. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-9.03.17-1.el6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set bonding with a /etc/modprobe.d/bonding.conf file. alias bond0 bonding options bond0 mode=1 arp_interval=1000 arp_ip_target=192.168.0.1 2. start network service. # service network start 3. restart network service. # service network restart Actual results: bond0 will never come up because the arp_ip_target is cleared in ifdown Expected results: the arp_ip_target should be restored even when specified in modprobe.conf Additional info:
