Bug Description

When bonds are defined, there is no feedback that they actually work.

Maas is in an unique position to test this, either by making sure that once the first node in a network is launched it is used as a 'reference' to e.g. ping from other hosts having the same network, or by making it a requirement that maas has a leg in every network. That leg does not have to be high speed, just accessibility so that it can be used for testing.

We do run into issues with network bond's not working and as sometimes multiple parties are involved it would be great to be able to have more confidence about the configuration(s).

Combined with this, it would be great if we can get feedback on link status in the ui. While it is static, it will help to identify e.g. network cards not connected properly during commissioning phase.

Hi Wouter,

Network testing is part of the MAAS roadmap but it is not currently a priority. This request falls under what we would do for network testing.
1. Commissioning doesn't setup network interfaces because network information is gathered at this stage.

2. Deployed machines do not have a an agent that would allow for this to happen, and we are not looking to have an agent for MAAS.

Also note that AFAIK, field SLA doesn't cover feature requests, and this is a new feature.

Thanks.
