I could be mistaken, but I think I've seen somethings that support up to 8 interfaces in an etherchannel bundle. From URL: (watch for wrap)
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/793/lan_switching/6.html "Some cards and platforms also support Gigabit EtherChannel and have the ability to use from two to eight ports in an EtherChannel" >From URL: (watch for wrap) http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/techno/media/lan/ether/channel/tech/fetec_wp.htm "Compatible with Cisco IOS---Fast EtherChannel connections are fully compatible with Cisco IOS virtual LAN and routing technologies. The Inter-Switch Link (ISL) VLAN trunking protocol can carry multiple VLANs across a Fast EtherChannel, and routers attached to Fast EtherChannel trunks can provide full multiprotocol routing with support for hot standby using HSRP" So it would appear both answers A. and B. are incorrect (i.e. they are both supported by EtherChannel) As far as TACACS, I read through RFC 1492 (watch for wrap) http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1492.html and didn't see where it told about encryption, so I can't offer any help there.
