 [NOTE]
 ====
 {VirtProductName} only supports the following bond modes:
 
-* mode=1 active-backup +
-* mode=2 balance-xor +
-* mode=4 802.3ad +
+* `active-backup` +
+* `balance-xor` +
+* `802.3ad` +
 
 Other bond modes are not supported.
 ====
 
+The `balance-xor` and `802.3ad` bond modes require switch configuration to establish an "EtherChannel" or similar port grouping. Those two modes also require additional load-balancing configuration, depending on the source and destination of traffic being passed through the interface. The `active-backup` bond mode does not require any switch configuration. Other bond modes are not supported.

 The following YAML file is an example of a manifest for a bond interface.
 It includes samples values that you must replace with your own information.
