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.

Gathering installation information
As you install and configure the StorageGRID appliance, you must make decisions and gather
information about Ethernet switch ports, IP addresses, and port and network bond modes.
Cabling the appliance
You must connect the two controllers to each other, connect the management ports on each
controller, and connect the 10/25-GbE ports on the E5700SG controller to the Grid Network and
optional Client Network for StorageGRID.
