HP Proliant ML350 Gen10 Network Configuration

[CharlieTango]

Hello all,
I just got a new server HP Proliant ML350 Gen10 and just installed Proxmox on it. All runs smooth as expected.
Anyway, I wanted to hear opinions about best practices regarding configuring the four network adapters; create Linux Bridge or Linux Bound in LACP mode...what do you recomend?
Any ideas will be welcome.
Cheers!

My advice is to start with reading the description of each technology. Linux Bridge and Linux Bond are two completely different things.
Bridge is used to forward the packets between networks, while LACP bond is used for network redundancy and in some cases performance, but less so.
One can place a Bridge on top of Bond, or create a bridge between two bonds.
The possibilities are limitless. Its impossible to advise you on "best practice" because you did not disclose any goals or requirements, except the number of NICs you have.
