If `false` which is the default, the CNI plugin looks for these interfaces on the host system first before attempting to form the bond.

+<1> This parameter dictates how outgoing network traffic is distributed across the `net1` and `net2` active member interfaces within the bond. The hashing algorithm combines layer 2 information, specifically source and destination MAC addresses, with layer 3 information, which includes source and destination IP addresses.
