That's because you forgot to configure your cisco and tell it those two ports were trunked together :) Another alternative to ng_one2many is ng_fec, which despite its name does not actually negotiate the FEC protocol with the remote end (you have to hardcode it on the switch), but does do mac/ip port hashing. That prevents packet reordering within flows. Patches to add LACP negotiation (FEC is obsolete) are welcome though :) -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
