Does anyone have tried to bonding interface checkpoint security gateway with mode LACP

Hi All,

i have concern to implementation LACP on Security Gateway.

the concern is should i must set target of bonding interface security gateway has applied LACP or no?

example:

there is one cluster with 2 member:

let's say FW1 and FW2, under this cluster there is an IPS dedicated with HA.

If FW1 has bonding eth3 - eth4 and another side FW2 has bonding same interface like FW1.

The question is, should i must set LACP on Mcafee or if Mcafee don't support LACP, can i use switch to receive interface LACP from cluster checkpoint and then from switch go to Mcafee1 and 2.

Hopefully my explanation is clear, if not i will send that topology.

Note: i have tried this mode between 6800 appliance series with standalone configuration and connected to 1800 appliance quantum spark, two this appliance has applied LACP configuration.

Thanks Regards

LACP is common for load-sharing type Bonds (amongst other available modes) but you should align the configuration with what the adjacent device supports/expects
