I set up an interface alias on my bond0 interface with this file/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0:0containing thisDEVICE=bond0:0IPADDR=10.2.3.60BOOTPROTO=staticONBOOT=yesNETMASK=255.255.255.0and when Iifup bond0:0 it comes up fine and I can ping it.  However when Iifdown bond0:0it takes down both bond0 and bond0:0This seems like a bug, but maybe I'm doing something wrong.  How do I bring down bond0:0 without taking down bond0 with it?
ifdown bond0:0 takes down bond0 with it
