I assume that aggregating multiple interfaces would downscale the tokens usage, as a 4x10GE bundle would use just 8 tokens rather than 32 of 4 equal cost paths. Limits are in the data-sheet:
- Number of LAGs supported: 64 - Maximum number of ports per LAG: 8 I'd expect this value to be the same for the number of ECMP paths. -- sam On 24 Jul 2013, at 15:07, Phil Bedard <[email protected]> wrote: > This is unrelated somewhat, but what are the current LAG member limits > as well as ECMP limits?
