When it's done right, Solaris doesn't know or care if there are separate switches at the other end. What you need are switches that can do 802.3ad across a group and make it appear as a single LACP peer. Nortel's SMLT can do this, and there are others. (But, no, we don't have support for any of the many proprietary mechanisms for splitting across switches, which is mostly OK as we also don't yet have support for bridging.) -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
