It is similar to the Cisco EtherChannel min-links feature. This + allows setting the minimum number of member ports that must be up (link-up + state) before marking the bond device as up (carrier on). This is useful for + situations where higher level services such as clustering want to ensure a + minimum number of low bandwidth links are active before switchover. + + This option only affects 802.3ad mode. + + The default value is 0.
