I'm setting up a new 23900 appliance cluster. It has a 2-port 10G card as well as a 4-port 10G card. I'd like to setup 2 bond interfaces (internal / external) with 2 10G ports in each bond. My initial thought is to use a 10G port from each interface card for the bond. That way the FW can survive an interface card failure.
Is there any reason not to do so? I'm thinking from a hardware / performance perspective. @Timothy_Hall, are there any SecureXL / CoreXL considerations around this? Would it be better to split the bonds across interface cards, keep them both on the 4-port card, or doesn't it really matter?
