Mg? That's a new unit :-) Sounds like you're looking for LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol), "Channel Bonding" or "link bonding" here - t seems to have many names, probably due to different switch manufacturers naming it different things. (I believe that LACP is a standard though). This allows multiple physical ethernet ports to be "bonded" configurations that allow high availability and/or high bandwidth. In linux, this all works out of the box, as long as you install ifenslave and configure it. But most configurations require switches that are configured to "know" about the bonding, since the bonding must be define at both ends of the cables. Google for "linux lacp", and you will get a few good hits. Hope this helps -- Karl E.
