Due to Tx/Rx load balancing issues of bonded ethernet ports you'll be far better off using a single port 10GbE NIC, if your switch has a 10GbE uplink port. Intel offers the X540-T1 copper for about $100 more than the 4 port GbE card above. It will save you a lot of time/effort trying to get proper load balancing with bonding. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
