Setting up the team driver on Debian Sid seems straight forward, and
the links seem to go up without error, but I cannot ping my router IP
address or otherwise connect outside the box. I am no expert in
networking, and am guessing the error may be obvious to someone on the
list, or someone might be able to point me in the right direction to
search for a solution.
To me, it seems this may be a gateway issue as, after setting up the
team driver, route -n gives:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref
Use Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0
0 myteam0
If I set the ip address of the router connected to the nic on eth0 as
the gateway, route -n gives:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref
Use Iface
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0
0 myteam0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0
0 myteam0
But pinging 192.168.0.1 results in "Destination Host Unreachable". If
I try setting a default gateway using myteam0 or eth0, the route
command returns "Unknown host".
After my initial day of failures, I commented out the eth0 and eth1
stanzas in the /etc/network/interfaces file and purged network-manager
to avoid potential problems. The original configuration has the router
connected to eth0 set the ip address of eth0 as 192.168.0.101 through
DHCP.
I tested initially with the Debian Sid libteam packages (v.12) and
then built v.15 from libteam-master.zip source. I have done most of my
testing with the basic commands:
teamd -g -t myteam0 -d
teamdctl myteam0 port add eth0
teamdctl myteam0 port add eth1
ip addr add 192.168.0.101/24 dev myteam0
ip link set myteam0 up
Before running the above commands to start teaming, ip link shows:

I have looked at syslog and see no errors or warnings. It seems
everything is fine as syslog shows:
