Friday at 07:48 AM1 day I have an interesting question for you.I have my server with 2 onboard 1Gb NIC's and an add-in 10GB NIC configured to failover from the 10GB to the first 1gb then the 2nd 1Gb.What I would like to know is can I safely configure the following setup?Bond the 2 1GB into an aggregation (my switch will support this). I am assuming this would then be eth1 (with eth2 bound to it)Then configure Eth0 as the 10gb with failover to the aggregated eth1?I hope I have explained that clear enough.
Friday at 11:40 AM1 day Community Expert Yes you could. Don't do it. Bonding is just terrible. It does not increase transfer speeds in the way it is often described and performance gains are with rare exception, nil. It also introduces complexities that often result in disconnects and confusion.
