The switches are running STP in pvst mode, and the basic setup of 2 interfaces in failover mode works fine for every server.

I think I'll just settle for 2 LACP interfaces, one on switch A for the WAN link, one on switch B for the 2 internal VLANS :/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
