You need unique IPs for LLT, as LLT over Ethernet uses the MAC address at Layer 2, and does not use the IP. I am not familiar with NIC bonding in HP-ux, but in Solaris if you use IPMP then you can use the IPMP group to load balance between 2 NICs for IP traffic, and you can use the individual NICs in LLT. So with HP-ux, if the O/S allows you to access the underlying NICs in a bond, then they should work in LLT, but I don't know if HP-ux bonding masks the underlying interfaces from the O/S so you can only use the bond (like MS windows, where when you create a bond, the underlying NICs are no longer visable).
