Port bond modes for E5700SG controller ports
When configuring network links for the E5700SG controller ports, you can use port bonding for the
10/25-GbE ports that connect to the Grid Network and optional Client Network, and the 1-GbE
management ports that connect to the optional Admin Network. Port bonding helps protect your data
by providing redundant paths between StorageGRID networks and the appliance.
