I would like to use = ng_vlan together with ng_fec, but since ng_fec does not seem to provide = any hooks I thought I could create an ng_ether node and use that. = However, the ng_ether node cannot capture the name 'fec0' since it is = already in use by the fec node itself. I have been able to create a round robin channel with vlans using = ng_one2many, but I would like to use etherchannel since at least some of = my switches support the fec implementation. A somewhat related question - does anyone know what the = "Cisco-proprietary hashing algorithm" is for the etherchannel = implementation on new Catalyst devices? Their documentation suggests = that they aren't doing an XOR on the last 2 bits of the MAC addresses = anymore.=20 -Will _____________________________________________ Will Saxon Systems Programmer - Network Services Department of Housing and Residence Education University of Florida Email: wills@housing.ufl.edu Phone: (352) 392-2171 x10148
