And coming around again: if you need pair bonding and VLAN tagging,
the best guideline is probably my old one: for KVM at
https://wikis.uit.tufts.edu/confluence/display/TUSKpub/Configure+Pair+Bonding,+VLANs,+and+Bridges+for+KVM+Hypervisor

The more recent versions of NetworkManager for RHEL 7 and Fedora
apparently support VLAN tagging and pair bonding, but the interface is
poor. If you want it to be robust and reliable for virtualization
server, I'll urge you to set "NM_CONTROLLED=no" in
/etc/sysconfig/network, so it's inherited by default for all network
ports.

I'e some long rants about the unsuitability of NetworkManager for
servers we could expolore some time if you need it. But especially for
a virtualizaton server as opposed to a guest VM, It's dangerously
destabilizing
