Multiple NICs, bond and large MTU - how to use

#1 Post by mabra »

Hello !

I am just building a new server for several different things, but hosting a samba fileserver too.
The server will host several LXC containers using VLAN's. For samba and probably high speed transfer,
I want to use two bonded eth ports with MTU 4000 to reach > 120 or 140 MB/s over the wire.
I would be able to do that all, but how can I do it at best?
Should I connect all ports to one bridge or use different bridges with different MTUs?
Should I bind samba explicitely to the bonded ports?
Should I use different hostnames and ip-addresses?
I am not asking for one, who makes this config for me,
but who probably has a source where I can study a similar beast?
Any ideas are really welcome!

Thanks anyway,
Manfred
