bonding configured with miimon=100, mode=balance-xor bond0 is assigned ip address 10.10.10.1/24 (that adds the local route 10.10.10.0/24 dev bond0) bond0 enslaves the eth0 if eth0 is administratily disabled, then bond0 senses the carrier down and logs the following events: <6>bonding: bond0: link status definitely down for interface eth0, disabling it <6>bonding: bond0: now running without any active interface ! But, the local route i.e. 10.10.10.0/24 dev bond0 still stays around; shouldn't it go away? I mean thats the common behavior with all the other devices.
