Ubuntu 16.04 lts server with 4 nics bonded on IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation.
Upon reboot, the network service fails to load automatically and have to do a manual start using sudo /etc/init.d/networking start
All the interfaces including the bond have an auto load in the /etc/network/interfaces
# The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual bond-master bond0 # The second network interface auto eth1 iface eth1 inet manual bond-master bond0 # The third network interface auto eth2 iface eth2 inet manual bond-master bond0 # The forth network interface auto eth3 iface eth3 inet manual bond-master bond0 # The bond master network interface auto bond0 iface bond0 inet static address 192.168.1.201 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.254 dns-nameservers xx.xx.xx.x xx.xx.xx.xx dns-search xxx.xxx.xxx.xx bond-mode 4 bond-miimon 100 bond-slaves all bond-primary eth1 eth2 eth3 eth0
This is supposed to start the network service upon reboot, but its not. What can I do to have the network start on boot?

The link is slow due to the old Cisco Catalyst Switch in place.

The bond seems to be initiating before the interfaces are raised
