It does with LACP, I don't know if the link status is considered when in round-robin mode. Anyway if I had to setup something like that I'd use bridge with spanning-tree to select the best path. This way you get failover for more cases than just the local link failure. -- Manuel Bouyer <bou...@antioche.eu.org> NetBSD: 26 ans d'experience feront toujours la difference --
