Set Active Network Interface in AHV active-backup configurations

 To check which NIC is active please connect to the AHV host, run the following command:

[root@ahv ~]# ovs-appctl bond/show

In the command output, the active interface will be marked as an active slave.

To change active NIC please connect to the AHV host and run the following command

this sets the active interface!:

[root@ahv ~]# ovs-appctl bond/set-active-slave <bond name> <interface name>

Example:

[root@ahv ~]# ovs-appctl bond/set-active-slave br0-up eth2

This sets eth2 as active interface

You can perform this from CVM with hostssh "Command" for the whole Cluster to set all Active links on one physical Switch if needed.
