I've never had to layer all of these but my suggestion'd be:



$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth{0,1}
BOOTPROTO="none"
DEVICE="eth{0,1}"
MASTER="bond0"
ONBOOT="yes"
SLAVE="yes"



$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
BONDING_OPTS="mode=... [...]"
BOOTPROTO="none"
BRIDGE="br0"
DEVICE="bond0"
ONBOOT="no"



$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0
BOOTPROTO="none"
[DELAY="0"]
DEVICE="br0"
ONBOOT="no"
[STP="on|off"]
TYPE="Bridge"



$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-vlan9
BOOTPROTO="dhcp" ## for simplicity on this list
DEVICE="vlan9"
ONBOOT="yes"
PHYSDEV="br0"
VLAN="yes"
VLAN_NAME_TYPE="VLAN_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD"

or

$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0.9
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
DEVICE="br0.9"
ONBOOT="yes"
VLAN="yes"
VLAN_NAME_TYPE="DEV_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD"
