I am still planning my next switch upgrade and the switches that are within my budget and with the speed and # of ports that I am wanting them to have do not support any type of multi-chassis aggregation or stacking of the switches. I have tried experimenting with setting up a nested bond within the Proxmox VE WebUI but it throws an error when creating the Active/Backup bond when adding the pair of LACP bonds as slaves.
While I am aware I could modify the interfaces file from the CLI, this could introduce unwanted effects during other management/administrative tasks that I complete using the WebUI and also possible issues during Proxmox VE updates.
Should I abandon this approach and look at bonding the 4 interfaces together using LACP on the node and then LACP bonding each set of 2 on the switches? Could the WebUI be updated to allow for nested bonding?
