maximum number of targets that can be specified is 16. The
default value is no IP addresses.
+ When an arp_ip_target is configured the bonding driver will
+ attempt to automatically determine what vlans the arp probe will
+ pass through. This process of gathering vlan tags is required
+ for the arp probe to be sent. However, in some configurations
+ this process may fail. In these cases you may manually
+ supply a list of vlan tags. To specify a list of vlan tags
+ append the ipv4 address with [tag1/tag2...]. For example:
+ arp_ip_target=10.0.0.1[10]. If you simply need to disable the
+ vlan discovery process you may provide an empty list, for example:
