Do not use tlb or alb in bridge, never! It does not work, that's it. The reason is it mangles source macs in xmit frames and arps. When it is possible, just use mode 4 (lacp). That should be always possible because all enterprise switches support that. Generally, for 99% of use cases, you *should* use mode 4. There is no reason to use other modes.
I think 99% may be a bit high... what if one wants to split the bond between two or more non-stacked switches, which I would imagine is a pretty common scenario. My understanding is if mode 4 (LACP) is used, all the interfaces need to be connected to the same switch, no? Regards, Alan
