Hi Checkmates
We come across to know that one of our interface (10G) is over utilized due to which we are getting RX Drop on that particular interface.
To overcome the issue we are plane to create BOND interface (20G) with Active/Active Mode.
In General when we configure BOND with "2" interfaces then the default minimum number of "Slave interface required is 1" so basically when one interface of that BOND goes down then Fail-over will not going to happen.
Now here we have a challenge because in our case if one interface is goes down on that BOND then we sure getting huge RX drop during our production because one interface can not handle the traffic because its already fully utilized.
So as a solution we are planing to change the "Minimum Slave interface required set to 2" (By change in the file "$FWDIR/conf/cpha_bond_ls_config.conf). So in this case one interface is goes down then fail-over will happen and Standby will handle the traffic.
We can not use "3" interface in that BOND because we only have one 10G interface left.
So my query is that :
1) As by default BOND configuration follow N-1 slave interface required like if we have "3" interface in one BOND then by default "Slave interface required is 2" so will there be any impact if we configure the minimum no of the interface as "2" with the total no of the interface in a bond is "2" ?
2) When we change the value of the required interface to 2 with the change in the file "$FWDIR/conf/cpha_bond_ls_config.conf" is their any impact
Kindly suggest what is the Best Practice when configured the bond and also how to overcome on this kind of scenario ?
We are using 21400 Appliance with SAM mode enable on that interface which running with R80.10 ISO with take_283 jumbo (Note: we are not able to upgrade the OS because of SAM limitation)
