<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a couple machines, where I need to configure bonding between them.<br />
The configuration isn't a problem - have done this before.<br />
The problem is, that I have no switch that supports port agregation.<br />
<br />
Now, I know linux bond drive have modes like balance-tlb balance-alb - but it's not enought.<br />
<br />
OK, my idea is: use two switches. One nic card plug into one switch, the other nic to the other switch (for each host) and configure regular balance-rr mode?<br />
Do You think it would work?<br />
Maybe somebody have tested such config?<br />

bonding without switch support

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
