however, you have to be sure the same bonding protocol is also set on remote equipment.
There are seven modes for bonding configuration.
These affect which non failed interface will be used to receive and transmit packets.
On network equipment side, you also specify that port `Fe0/10` and `Fe0/11` (for instance, in a pseudo Cisco notation) are part of a bond.
Network equipment will discover the IP, the same way it discovers the usual link.
