Hi guys,
I am building up my server with two NIC (Intel Gigabit adapter) this week and will use the newest Proxmox version for installation. Eventually, the server will be positioned in a data center behind a Cisco or Huawei switch with two 1 Gb ports, which I will have configuration access to.
Now, I can choose between
1. getting two public IP addresses and use one per NIC
or
2. just use one public IP and and create a bond with LACP to get double the in-/output and some load-balancing.
What does make more point regarding efficiency? Is option 2. a viable and working scenario, anyway?
The reason I ask, at all, is the fact, that I found not a lot of information regarding this scenario and also in a very old thread from 2012 or so in a different forum I read something about LACP not really working out on a Proxmox server.
Does anyone have experience with this setup or some knowledge about it? What are your recommendations in general?
Thank you in advance.
