Description Jay Faulkner 2014-06-26 23:51:08 UTC 
Currently, if you configure a bonded interface you cannot specify any options for the bond -- most importantly "mode" -- but a host of others.

A workaround is to modprobe the bonding module with the options you want before loading systemd-networkd, for example:

modprobe bonding mode=4 mii=100 lacp_mode=1 
systemdctl start systemd-networkd.service


Most other configuration file formats for network configuration support specifying bonding options, and it'd be very nice for systemd-networkd to support this as well.

Mode= switch added in http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=fe8ac65b68. Other options are on the TODO list.
