Bonding/Teaming Lan

Hi,

I have to implement a net with the following specs.
LAN with about 70+ clients and a dmz with 2 servers and astaro sry. sophos as the gateway for all of them + all subscriptions except MAIL will be active.

Does it makes sense or is a there a benefit if I activate bonding on the LAN side?
I ask in general and implicit for a performance boost to the internal servers (smb, etc.) ?

As a side node, your switches need to support STP (spanning Tree Protocoll) in order to not loop if you connect each switch with all others for fail over purpose.

LAG is only used to increase throughput and/or for redundancy. So enabling LAG only on one end will not help performance unless you have the same capability or more on the other end. If you just want it for redundancy it is still only part of the picture.
