The answer to this question as many have said is no. The reason for this is
that to aggregate the bandwidth the ports need to be in a channel, and this
cannot be done across multiple blades in a 5509. Ports to be channelled
together need to be next to each other on the 55's, but on a 6500, they CAN
be on seperate blades.

I have a simple question, and one which I cannot readily answer at this
time. Can I safely connect TWO switch ports from a Cisco 5509 (two different
switch blades) to a hub to increase the hub's crossconnection bandwidth,
without having a looping problem? The hub is actually a DEC multi-blade,
with a swithced backplane. The hub is also connect on two different blades,
but the same backplane. TIA!
btw, I have already done this and I figured if spanning tree found a looping
problem, it wouldv'e set one of the ports to a non-forwarding state..
