Hi Nicolas, Thank you for your suggestion, it works. Actually I was thinking that in order to have arp monitoring (bond_arp_ip_target <ip>) enabled the bond0 interface had to have an ip address configured and as per tcpdump samples show that is not true. So here it is my current working configuration. # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto bond0 iface bond0 inet manual bond-slaves none bond-mode active-backup bond_arp_ip_target 10.153.107.1 bond_arp_interval 60 auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual bond-master bond0 bond-primary eth0 eth1 auto eth1 iface eth1 inet manual bond-master bond0 bond-primary eth0 eth1 auto br0 iface br0 inet static address 10.153.107.110 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 10.153.107.1 bridge_ports bond0 bridge_stp off bridge_fd 9 bridge_hello 2 bridge_maxage 12 bridge_maxwait 0 ### Tcpdump output 00:1c:c4:6b:38:4a > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ARP, length 60: Request who-has 10.153.107.1 tell 0.0.0.0, length 46 00:1c:c4:6b:38:4a > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ARP, length 60: Request who-has 10.153.107.1 tell 0.0.0.0, length 46 00:1c:c4:6b:38:4a > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ARP, length 60: Request who-has 10.153.107.1 tell 0.0.0.0, length 46 Thanks guys.
