Hi Andrew, No actually they are configured as "mode on" no LACP. I spoke with a CCIE a couple of years ago and he told me that use mode on from switch to switch and lacp from switch to server so thats what I am putting in.
Any thoughts on why the 2960's ports would turn up even with the 5010's ports shut down?
