Limitations and best practices bond (port-channel)

[nãbru]

guys

I would like to know if there is a limitation to make a channel port between two fw 3200 and a switch both with 1GB;

What are the restrictions?

Personally, Im not aware of any issues, though I recall once customer was using really old Cisco switch and we had to disable IGMP snooping to make it work. Other than that, cant think of any problems I ever encountered.

To be clear the individual firewalls have their own bonds/port-channel on the switch side they do not share it.

Settings wise 802.3AD / LACP with Layer 3+4 hashing is common for bonds.
