well, lacp usually doesn't work across switches. but lacp is not the only mode trunk supports. roundrobin definately works across switches - how well might depend on your switches. works well for me on procurve with E-series software which doesn't do distributed trunking afair.< -- Henning Brauer, h...@bsws.de, henn...@openbsd.org BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting
