Questions tagged [bonding]

"bonding" is the Linux-term for link aggregation.

Cisco terminiolgy is "etherchannel", other vendors may talk about "trunking".

The idea is to use several pyhsical lines in the same (sub)network or VLAN and load-balance the traffic across these lines.

To make it work both "ends" need to use the same LB-mode.

Physically isolated networks versus link aggregation + VLANs

When setting up internal cloud, the recommended best practice seems to be to isolate data traffic from management traffic by using separate L2 networks. For example, see the diagram in the OpenStack Quantum documentation). Note that this management…
