[plug] Ethernet Bonding

[Adrian Woodley]

Provided you're doing mode 1 (active-standby) and you ensure that 
traffic only leaves the active interface, it should work on any switch. 
As fas as the switch is concerned, in the event of a failure the 
interface has been unplugged from the old switchport and plugged into 
the new one.
