NOTE¶

Teaming is deprecated on RHEL9 and will be removed on RHEL10! For replacement please use bonding.

DESCRIPTION¶

teamd is a daemon to control a given team network device, during runtime, as a puppeteer controls a puppet. It uses libteam to communicate with the kernel team device instance via Netlink sockets. The behaviour depends on the selected runner and its configuration. This daemon is part of the libteam project.

Kill running daemon instance.

-e, --check

Return 0 if a daemon is already running.

-f filename, --config-file filename

-c text, --config text

Use given JSON format configuration string. If this option is present then -f option will be ignored.
