Mark,
>From the bonding HOWTO guide:
7. Which switches/systems does it work with?
The full answer to this depends upon the desired mode.
In the basic balance modes (balance-rr and balance-xor), it
works with any system that supports etherchannel (also called
trunking). Most managed switches currently available have such
support, and many unmanaged switches as well.
....
In 802.3ad mode, it works with systems that support IEEE
802.3ad Dynamic Link Aggregation. Most managed and many unmanaged
switches currently available support 802.3ad.
Where is the etherchannel defined in you VSWITCH?
