Hello,

Yes I would discourage the use of any 1G links if you do not need them.

Some people with a physical DMZ will use the 1G link to connect to that network but if you don’t need it I wouldn’t use it.

Your 2 x 10G ports really should be connected resiliently across two switches to cope with switch failure.

Hello, exactly the requirements Nutanix is to use the 10gb/s ports and not using 1gb/s ports for management+backplane. And don’t forget, you mustn’t mixed different speed ports in same bonding.
