Services

New to bonding as of version 6.4 is the notion of services, additional features bound to connected IPs to serve their network.

Prior to 6.4, the bonder offered DHCP and DNS caching services as advanced connected IP configuration options. These features are now services. Additionally, three new features are available as services to enable the various automatic address configuration methods for IPv6 networks. They are:

  • DHCPv6-NA
  • DHCPv6-PD
  • Router Advertisement (RA)

Services are displayed in the services table on the bond details page.
