Bonding and Switch configurations

[GabrieleV]

Hello,
I've setup a cluster of 3 nodes, using bonding mode active/backup and 2 switches for redundancy like this (simplified diagram):



I don't want to make any kind of special configuration on the switches, to be vendor free.
Is it true that the only way to achive this involving two switches is using active/backup bonding mode ?
I've tried using round-robin but I got a lot of packet losses with this configuration.

Is there any other bonding mode that gives me a performance gain other than the redundancy of active/backup
I always wan to use two switches without playing with their configuration.

Thank you

you need stackable switches if you want to use active/active and redundancy
