[ovs-discuss] LACP Bonding with OpenvSwitch

[Kevin Han]

Hi,

When I run ovs-appctl lacp/show I get the following output:
---- bond0 ----
    status: active
    sys_id: 08:00:27:9d:33:48
    sys_priority: 65534

I am trying to bond 2 wireless NICs together for increased redundancy. To
do this, I am bridging both wireless cards into a virtual machine and
running open v switch from there. Could it be that this isn't possible? Are
there any settings that I might have to change on my wireless NICs (like
enabling LACP)?

Thank You and sorry for the long post,

Kevin Han
