Subject: Re: PROBLEM: bonding status file in /proc not removed when using
 bond-device as a slave

There is no reason to do this.  The bonding code you are running
supports the ability to connect a single 802.3ad bond to different
switches and should do exactly what you need.

When you put all ports in the same bond you will notice that ports that
go to one switch will be listed with a particular aggregator ID and all
ports going to another switch will have a different aggregator ID.  You
will also see that the bond will list only one active aggregator.  This
should give you the behaviour you desire.

Additionally look at 'ad_select' option in the bonding documentation to
help tune when you switch from one link to another.
