Newbie Bonding between Linux and CRS

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I have a CRS326-24G switch. I have some Linux boxes that each have 4 ethernet ports. The Linux boxes will be doing block device replication, snapshotting, and other things as well as providing some services to the rest of the network so I’m thinking what I would like to do for each box is bond all 4 interfaces and then run VLANs over the bond.

Now for the stupid questions… :slight_smile:

  1. I’m assuming I would use 802.3ad since it seems standard and well supported. Sound reasonable?
  2. Assuming above is correct, can I have all 4 interfaces in a single bond?
  3. And here’s the part I feel really silly, but searching for bonding on here yields a lot of result that I read but can’t find the answer. When I create the bond on the Linux side, do I need to go and do the same thing on the MT CRS side?

Thanks
