Hey all, I tried the following combinations, of IPMP and Link Aggregation ( Nemo stuff ) . With Cisco and Dlink managed Switches. Some of these switches has facilities to arrgegate ports ( port aggregation ) on the switch, i used them, for no use.. Only one active port is selected at

Hey John, Thanks for reply guru ... yes i was about to test sun trunking, But that workes only with sun's hardware with hard coded support, like ce , qfe etc etc ... but not bge, pcn, rtls , e1000 etc.. But, i found nemo drivers work with the other ones well, and also we can aggregate more

You could take a look at Sun Trunking 1.3, but Sun Trunking 1.3, like any server trunking software, load balances the outgoing traffic, not the incoming packets. Trunking 1.3 software relies on the link partner (switch or server) to load balance the incoming packets. 1. Download the binary.
