Thanks for your reply,
It seems that HP ProCurve 5400 series doesn't support fec trunking :
hp(config)# trunk A3-a5 trk1 fec
Invalid input: fec
hp(config)# trunk A3-a5 trk1 ?
trunk Do not use any protocol to create or maintain
the trunk.
lacp Use IEEE 802.1ad Link Aggregation protocol.
<cr>
hp(config)#
Can ng_fec handshake with switch via "trunk" option instead of "fec" ?
According to HP docs, FEC should "work" with the 'trunk' setting.
It will loose all features tough, and just become a 'dumb' bonding-style
thing, with no redundancy and other features.
Yes, I was reading some HP docs yesterday and they implied that they
were removing FEC on newer switches in favour of using the IEEE
standards-based methods of trunking.
I wonder how dissimilar FEC and IEEE LACP are from one another? ie. how
much of the code from ng_fec could be used to implement an ng_lacp...
