Default bond modes are Mode 1 and Mode 6 because these modes do not require any special
configuration for the network switches. HP recommends using Mode 4 for increased bandwidth
transfer rate by merging all ports into one data path. Using Mode 4 requires additional network
configuration.
The following figures show the network port configuration for HP StoreAll 8800 1 GbE and 10
GbE storage.
