E.g. I do have some fileservers connected to the users lan and to some ISCSI Storages. Or some Webservers only connected to the LAN. The switches are all new cisco models.
Just as an example, the Microsoft ini recommends against running it through bonded interfaces but suggests to use multipathing instead, something you might want to consider for the iSCSI case.
That's on the initiator side, on the target side MS supports whatever works for the target.
For target servers I typically run 2 bonded pairs (802.3ad) for iSCSI traffic to 4-6 initiators, one pair for one path, the other for the other path using layer3/4 hashing.
