## Verify the L2 PVRST LLA Active/Active Configuration on the Servers

Note - All pings should be successful.

1. Check the configuration on `Host-6`.

   `Host-6` has a bond to test the Active/Active configuration.

       [Host-6 ~]# ifconfig
       bond0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:10:E0:21:EE:07            inet addr:192.168.99.25  Bcast:192.168.99.255
