Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
1. Create bond connection; 2. Add slave interfaces; 3. Set bonding mode; 4. Activate bond; 5. Verify bond status
The correct order to configure a network bond using nmcli is: create the bond connection first, then add slave interfaces to it, set the bonding mode (e.g., active-backup), activate the bond, and finally verify the bond status. This sequence ensures that the bond interface exists before adding slaves and that the mode is set before activation so that the bond operates correctly from the start.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
1. Create bond connection; 2. Add slave interfaces; 3. Set bonding mode; 4. Activate bond; 5. Verify bond status
Why this is correct
This order ensures the bond is created first, slaves are added, mode is set before activation, and verification confirms success.
- ✗
1. Create bond connection; 2. Add slave interfaces; 3. Activate bond; 4. Set bonding mode; 5. Verify bond status
Why it's wrong here
Setting the bonding mode after activation may not take effect correctly, leading to unexpected behavior.
- ✗
1. Set bonding mode; 2. Create bond connection; 3. Add slave interfaces; 4. Activate bond; 5. Verify bond status
Why it's wrong here
Setting the mode before creating the bond is ineffective because the bond interface does not exist yet.
- ✗
1. Add slave interfaces; 2. Create bond connection; 3. Activate bond; 4. Set bonding mode; 5. Verify bond status
Why it's wrong here
Adding slaves before creating the bond is impossible because the bond interface must exist to attach slaves.
