Now trying your steps: Step 3) (bringing down the active eth1) root@...ian:~# ip l set eth1 down root@...ian:~# ip l sh bond0 26: bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default link/ether 52:54:00:3f:47:69 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff root@...ian:~# ip l sh eth1 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master bond0 state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:4f:a5:99 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff root@...ian:~# ip l sh eth2 4: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master bond0 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:3f:47:69 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff *The mac addresses of eth1 and eth2 are correctly swapped, so far so good. Step 4) (bringing down the active eth2) root@...ian:~# ip l set eth2 down 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master bond0 state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:4f:a5:99 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 4: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master bond0 state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:3f:47:69 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 26: bond0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default link/ether 52:54:00:3f:47:69 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff *eth2 has kept the mac address of the bond and they're both down now Step 5) (bring eth1 up again and observe the macs) ~# ip l set eth1 up 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master bond0 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:3f:47:69 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 4: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master bond0 state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:4f:a5:99 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 26: bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default link/ether 52:54:00:3f:47:69 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff *The macs are correctly swapped and there's no such bug. Step 6(?) bring eth2 up ~# ip l set eth2 up 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master bond0 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:3f:47:69 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 4: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master bond0 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:4f:a5:99 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 26: bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default link/ether 52:54:00:3f:47:69 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff *Still correct. Also the mac address that gets set is dev_addr which is changed when the swapping is done, if you'd like to get the original mac address you should be using slave->perm_hwaddr.
