Symptoms
While creating network bond(mode1:active-backup) with eth1 and eth2 as slaves, bonding is not coming up with primary interface as set in configuration file.
#cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0
Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.7.1 (April 27, 2011)
Bonding Mode: fault-tolerance (active-backup)
Primary Slave: None
Currently Active Slave: eth2
MII Status: up
MII Polling Interval (ms): 100
Up Delay (ms): 5000
Down Delay (ms): 5000
Slave Interface: eth1
MII Status: up
Speed: 10000 Mbps
Duplex: full
Link Failure Count: 0
Permanent HW addr: 00:10:e0:40:b9:7f
Slave queue ID: 0
Slave Interface: eth2
MII Status: up
Speed: 1000 Mbps
Duplex: full
Link Failure Count: 0
Permanent HW addr: 00:10:e0:40:b9:80

Here the bond0 is created with currently active slave as eth2, but from the bonding configuration file the primary interface is eth1.
#cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
