1. Bring up the virtual controller on 5.3-119 SD or above, if the controller is on any previous, upgrade to 5.3-119 or above, as this feature support only from 5.3-119.
2. Once the Image is added for the Instance, add 1 NIC Adapter [Add Vswitch 0 Adapter]
3. Power ON the Instance.
4. Once the Instance comes up with Single Bonding.
5. Add 3 More NIC's for Dual Bonding configurations.

9. Configure Dual Bonding in the Controller with Dual Ethernet Active Configuration using the below commands (you can set static, I am using DHCP in this example)
default(15)#
default(15)# configure
terminal
default(15)(config)# bonding
dual
default(15)(config)# interface FastEthernet
1
default(15)(config-if-FastEth)# ip address
dhcp
default(15)(config-if-FastEth)# exit
Warning:
Controller reboot is required for the configuration changes to
be
effective.
default(15)(config)# interface
FastEthernet 2
default(15)(config-if-FastEth)# type
active
default(15)(config-if-FastEth)# ip address
dhcp
default(15)(config-if-FastEth)# exit
Warning:
Controller reboot is required for the configuration changes to
be

default(15)(config)#
exit
default(15)#
default(15)#
default(15)#
copy running-config startup-config
Building configuration.
Please wait ...
default(15)#
10. Save the Configuration.
11. Reload the Controller.
12. After Controller reboot, Controller will come up with Dual Ethernet Active configuration with two interfaces.
