## Symptoms

- It is not possible to disable a Bond interface on Gaia OS:

* In Gaia Portal, the "enable" checkbox of a Bond interface is greyed out (so it is not possible to clear this box)  

* "`NMSETH0029 Interface `*Name_of_Bond*` state cannot be set to off, it can only be deleted`" error in Clish when running the '`set interface `*Name_of_Bond*` state off`' command.  

* The Bond interface can be brought down in Expert mode by running '`ifconfig `*Name_of_Bond*` down`' command

## Cause

Currently, changing the state of the Bond interface (or the state of Bond's physical slave interfaces) is not allowed in Gaia OS (neither in Clish, nor in Gaia Portal).
