Bonding question

Fri Jun 09, 2006 3:32 am

In order for bonding to work, do I need to have a MT router on both ends of the connection? Or can I just have one MT with 2 bonded interfaces terminating at a switch?

It depends on what options do you want to use on bonding interface. I set up a bonding interface to back-up a link to my provider. I don't know what type of hardware my provider uses, but I know that this is not any Linux or Mikrotik. But if you want to use some kind of load-balancing on bonding interface, I think, this schema will not work.
