Hi Alan, Just to be sure I understand. At this time in Vswitch only one OSA is really active and passing data.
With (IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation) both OSA's would be moving data?

If you have a z9, the VSWITCH can perform channel bonding (IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation) itself. Standard channel bonding requires that both sides cooperate in the effort.
