Hi there I have a requirement to provide failover to our customer boxes in case of interface / switch failure, I have been looking at Solaris Link Aggregation with LACP and I wanted to ask a question
Ive seen multiple websites that say the following [b]You cannot use link aggregation if you are using two separate switches. As per IEEE 802.3ad, an aggregation connects two end-points. Some switch vendors implement their own extensions which allows a single "logical" aggregation to span multiple switches, but these solutions are not yet common and don't always explicitly support 802.3ad.[/b] Does this also mean that if the switches are [U]trunked togethe[/U]r that you still cant use 2 switches ??. One absolute requirement of this project is that I use 2 seperate switches, so if this isnt possible, then Ill have to look into IPMP or something else Any help would be greatly appreciated Gary This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
