title: About the bond Resource
platform: linux

# bond
Use the `bond` InSpec audit resource to test a logical, bonded network interface (i.e. "two or more network interfaces aggregated into a single, logical network interface"). On Linux platforms, any value in the `/proc/net/bonding` directory may be tested.
<br>
## Syntax
A `bond` resource block declares a bonded network interface, and then specifies the properties of that bonded network interface to be tested:
describe bond('name') do
it { should exist }
end
where
* `'name'` is the name of the bonded network interface
* `{ should exist }` is a valid matcher for this resource
<br>
## Property Examples
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
### content
The `content` matcher tests if contents in the file that defines the bonded network interface match the value specified in the test. The values of the `content` matcher are arbitrary.
its('content') { should match('value') }
### interfaces
The `interfaces` matcher tests if the named secondary interfaces are available.
its('interfaces') { should eq ['eth0', 'eth1', ...] }
### mode
The `mode` matcher tests the Bonding Mode.
its('mode') { should eq 'IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation' }
### params
The `params` matcher tests arbitrary parameters for the bonded network interface.
its('params') { should eq 'value' }
### Test if eth0 is a secondary interface for bond0
describe bond('bond0') do
it { should exist }
it { should have_interface 'eth0' }
end
### Test parameters for bond0
describe bond('bond0') do
its('mode') { should eq 'IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation' }
its('Transmit Hash Policy') { should eq 'layer3+4 (1)' }
its('MII Status') { should eq 'up' }
its('MII Polling Interval (ms)') { should eq '100' }
its('Up Delay (ms)') { should eq '0' }
its('Down Delay (ms)') { should eq '0' }
end
<br>
## Matchers
For a full list of available matchers please visit our [matchers page](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/matchers/).
### exist
The `exist` matcher tests if the bonded network interface is available:
it { should exist }
### have_interface
The `have_interface` matcher tests if the bonded network interface has one (or more) secondary interfaces:
it { should have_interface }
