Link aggregation can never work with two separate switches! LACP and static trunking require both sides to bundle the same trunk. which is impossible for two separate switches. For redundancy, there is the SpanningTreeProtocol, which FreeBSD supports in bridge (4) (more preferrably RSTP). > Saying "it doesnt really work in freebsd" is, to be honest, not so > far off the mark (if somewhat harshly phrased) - but it can be made to > behave if you do it in a certain way, and when it does it runs very nic= ely. In that case, it's nothing to do with FreeBSD! -Harry --------------enigC9EB048CDD20BADFA44B3D8A Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAlA9ztAACgkQLDqVQ9VXb8hyUQCeOhhyP5SrY/smTLa8t9+IkzLs D60An25gzXOFipcOL6wMS9wP9AKtjqtt =wKtp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigC9EB048CDD20BADFA44B3D8A--
