I am aware of that. That's why my idea was to use bond1 (LACP) on eth1+2
on switch1 and bond2 (LACP) on eth3+4 on switch2 and then team together
bond1 + bond2. With this config theoretically I should get bonding
spanned over two switches. Technically it worked, redundancy and
aggregation.
The problem was deploying self-hosted engine, because the script was
unable to configure management network.
If I use bonding spanned over two switches as you suggest, based on
documentation
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/...
my options are:
- Mode 2 (XOR policy)
- Mode 5 (adaptive transmit load-balancing policy): no use of bridges
- Mode 6 (adaptive load-balancing policy): same limitation of mode 5
Basically only Mode 2 looks usable for us.
