+     To activate a bond, bring up all the slaves. As <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>, issue the following commands:
+
+     <screen>~]# <command> /usr/sbin/ifup ifcfg-eth0</command>
+Connection successfully activated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/7)</screen>
+     <screen>~]# <command> /usr/sbin/ifup ifcfg-eth1</command>
+Connection successfully activated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/8)</screen>
+</para>
+<para>
+Note that if editing interface files for interfaces which are currently <quote>up</quote>, set them down first as follows:
+<synopsis>/usr/sbin/ifdown ifcfg-eth<replaceable>N</replaceable></synopsis>
+Then when complete, bring up all the slaves, which will bring up the bond (provided it was not set <quote>down</quote>).
+   </para>
+   <para>
+     To make <application>NetworkManager</application> aware of the changes, issue a command for every changed interface as <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>:
+     <screen>~]# <command>nmcli con load /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<replaceable>device</replaceable></command></screen>
+     Alternatively, to reload all interfaces:
+<screen>~]# <command>nmcli con reload</command></screen>
+     The default behavior is for <application>NetworkManager</application> not to be aware of the changes and to continue using the old configuration data. The is set by the <option>monitor-connection-files</option> option in the <filename>NetworkManager.conf</filename> file. See the <filename>NetworkManager.conf(5)</filename> manual page for more information.
