Yes, it works.

On g220a, eth1 is the dedicated interface, eth0 is the ncsi interface

kernel cfg:
CONFIG_BONDING=y

cat /etc/systemd/network/00-bmc-bond1.netdev
[NetDev]
Name=bond1
Description=Bond eth0 and eth1
Kind=bond

[Bond]
Mode=active-backup

cat /etc/systemd/network/00-bmc-eth0.network
[Match]
Name=eth0
[Network]
Bond=bond1

cat /etc/systemd/network/00-bmc-eth0.network
[Match]
Name=eth1
[Network]
Bond=bond1
PrimarySlave=true

ip addr
....
6: bond1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP400> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue qlen 1000

:) I guess so.
