Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for configuring a physical computing system (e.g., in a cloud computing network) to connect a network bond with a virtual multilayer switch. An operating system process executing in the physical computing system receives a selection of one or more network interfaces. The process aggregates the selected network interfaces into a bonded network interface having a first port. The process creates a network bridge having a second port. The process associates the first port with the second port. The process connects the network bridge with an integration bridge of the virtual multilayer switch via the second port.
