74 Chapter 6 Setting Network Preferences
To remove an Ethernet interface from a bond virtual device (pseudo device):
$ ifconfig bond_interface_name -bondev physical_interface
The link status of the bond interface depends on the state of link aggregation. If no
active partner is detected, the link status remains inactive. To monitor the IEEE 802.3ad
Link Aggregation state, use the -b option.
For more information, see the ifconfig man page.
Configuring Ethernet Link Aggregation
You can also use networksetup to configure Ethernet Link Aggregation. The following
commands are supported.
To see if a device can be added to a bond:
$ sudo networksetup -isBondSupported device
To create a bond and add devices to it:
$ sudo networksetup -createBond name [ device1 ] [ device2 ] [...]
To delete a bond:
$ sudo networksetup -deleteBond bond
To add a device to a bond:
$ sudo networksetup -addDeviceToBond device bond
To remove a device from a bond:
$ sudo networksetup -removeDeviceFromBond device bond
To list available bonds:
$ sudo networksetup -listBonds
To display a bond status:
$ sudo networksetup -showBondStatus bond
Managing AppleTalk Settings
AppleTalk is a suite of protocols developed to implement file sharing, mail service,
and printing between Apple computers. To enable or disable AppleTalk, use the
serversetup tool.
To enable AppleTalk on a port:
$ serversetup -EnableAT [( devicename |" portname ")]
If you don’t provide an interface, en0 is assumed.
To disable AppleTalk on a port:
$ serversetup -DisableAT [( devicename |" portname ")]
If you don’t provide an interface, en0 is assumed.
