Configure Cluster network on the Top-of-Rack switches
Configuring LACP is not required, but highly recommended. The first two ports of the 4-Port Card are aggregated in an LACP bond. When LACP is configured the ports run in an active/active mode. When LACP is not set, the ports run in active/passive mode.
