Bonding Question

My apologies, Sob, this is not a proposal :wink:

CURRENT:
Purpose/Requirement: Ensure that regardless of NIC card functionality, PC user has continual access to the internet without interruption of current connections.

Scenario, ensuring uninterrupted ethernet connectivity to sites.
Established: Two Nic Cards and in W10 a virtual NIC card created and facing the windows OS.
Established: LACP in Netgear or DLink Switch connect the two lines coming from the computer into a single virtual switch port (ingress egress to computer)
All running on VLAN 22

ENHANCED-PROPOSED
Change: Mirror the physical switch concept but including the router (assuming vlan22 for the pC)
Purpose/Requirement: Along with the NIC Card redundancy, provide an additional layer of redundancy such that if the Managed Switch fails, ethernet connectivity for the PC user is not interrupted.

Conclusions (after mulling over the subject:
Regardless of what I do, I will need two specific ports dedicated on the router to provide LACP type services. Thus might as well bypass the switch entirely and run both NICs and associated lines to the router. However playing the game. What if I wanted to run one line through the switch.
Switch port 23 - access port to PC (vlan22)
Switch Port 1 - trunk port to router for all vlans (now excluding vlan22)
Switch Port 24 - trunk port to router (vlan22)

Router - eth5 direct line from PC

  • eth6 trunk port from switch for only vlan22
    (bridge port eth5-pvid22 untagged priority frames, bridge port eth6 ingress filtering
    (bridgevlan- tagged=homebridge,eth6, untagged eth5 vlanid-22)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Regardless of the two options both direct to router or one via switch If feasible, two issues remain!!

(1) Can the router do this bonding
(2) Can the router assign a primary route (for dhcp purposes to the single virtual nic on the pc).
