+To configure a bonded (link aggreagtion) network interface the following commands can be used:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  # wwctl node set --netname=bond0_member_1 --netdev=eth2 --type=bond-slave n001
+  # wwctl node set --netname=bond0_member_2 --netdev=eth3 --type=bond-slave n001

+
+Note: the netnames of the member interterfaces need to match the "netname" of the bonded interface until the first "_" (in the example bond0)
