Hi Guys,
Can CheckPoint ClusterXL create Bonding with cisco switch port(layer2) as described in picture below?As per understanding, there is no any problem if peer cisco port is having IP address assigned(L3).
A bond interface towards a cisco switch will work fine, both with L2 and L3. You would configure your cisco switch with port-channel and you can add LACP.
Regarding your drawing, the switches needs to be stacked or, for cisco, support VSS - meaning that you can do a multi chassis port channel. Your drawing looks to be showing two separeate cisco switches - that is an issue unless they run (for example) VSS. What hardware and how is the setup of the cisco switches ?

Ya, it is 6000 series model with VSS feature enabled.
Normally, what would channel-mode use in switch when CP configure 802.3ad protocol in bond interface?
Thanks
802.3ad means LACP. You have to set channel-mode to active on the Cisco switch.
Configuring LACP (802.3ad) Between a Catalyst 6500/6000 and a Catalyst 4500/4000 shows a very good description for the difference on the cisco switch for CatOS or IOS.

Wolfgang
