Bonding + VLAN tagging

I want to create a bonding (say bond0) with eth0+eth1 and then add to bond0 two different IPs, each one on a different vlan.

I found Arch and non-Arch specific documents that explain either bonding or vlan tagging, but not both at the same time. Moreover, several documents use net-tools.

Which is the suggested/Arch way (if any) to create the bonding "manually" with iproute2 + ifenslave?

Is there any official document about how to get the interface configured at boot time using netcfg + netcfg-bonding?

Please point me to any documentation that I may have missed, but a direct answer to the questions is also appreciated

Thank you a lot.

Re: Bonding + VLAN tagging

It doesn't matter to each part (bonding and vlan) that you're using both. Just setup the bond first (1) then setup the VLAN's (2) using "bond0" as the base device instead of eth0, eth1 etc

1) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … ing_or_LAG
2) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VLAN

As for doing both automatically with netcfg etc, that's something I don't know about, sorry...
