HP Exam HPE0-J50 Topic 5 Question 6 Discussion

HPE StoreVirtual 3200 provides three options for the teaming/bonding of the network ports on each storage controller---Active-Passive, Link Aggregation Dynamic Mode (LACP), or Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) bonding. The simplest solution, the Active-Passive bonding, utilizes only one of the available network ports per controller. The most complex solution, the LACP (802.3ad) bonding, delivers bandwidth aggregation and redundancy across both controller network ports but requires additional switch configurations such as IRF trunking. The preferred and recommended bonding mode is ALB, where the network ports may be connected to different switches, therefore, support switch failover.
