NAME
     ifenslave  Äî Attach and detach slave network devices to a bonding device.

SYNOPSIS
     ifenslave [ acdfhuvV] [  all interfaces] [  change active] [  detach] [  force] [  help] [  usage] [  verbose] [  version] master slave ...

DESCRIPTION
     ifenslave is a tool to attach and detach slave network devices to a bonding device.  A bonding device will act like a normal Ethernet network device to the
     kernel, but will send out the packets via the slave devices using a simple round robin scheduler.  This allows for simple load balancing, identical to "channel
     bonding" or "trunking" techniques used in switches.

     The kernel must have support for bonding devices for ifenslave to be useful.

OPTIONS
      a,   all interfaces
             Show information about all interfaces.

      c,   change active
             Change active slave.

      d,   detach
             Removes slave interfaces from the bonding device.

      f,   force
             Force actions to be taken if one of the specified interfaces appears not to belong to an Ethernet device.

      h,   help
             Display a help message and exit.

      u,   usage
             Show usage information and exit.

      v,   verbose
             Print warning and debug messages.

      V,   version
             Show version information and exit.
     If not options are given, the default action will be to enslave interfaces.

EXAMPLE
     The following example shows how to setup a bonding device and enslave two real Ethernet devices to it:
