Take a look at ng_fec, it implements Cisco's EtherChannel.

ng_one2many can also be used to bond two or more interfaces,
but keep in mind that it is not based on any standard and
it will handle of course only outgoing traffic since incoming
traffic must be handled from the remote side, the ethernet
switch.

There are plenty of choices to implement such a thing, beyond
those two approaches... If you want some ideas, please state
your needs.

I would highly recommend you upgrade to the latest 6.4 (or even better
the 7 series) but if you cannot for some reason, have a look at
netgraph, ng_fec might be ok if you have a cisco switch, and ng_one2many
looks interesting.  I havent tried them but I'm sure others on here
could comment on them.

Upgrade to FreeBSD 6.4 and stay there if you must stay at 6.x.
6.2 is not supported anymore so don't ask questions about it:)

Teaming NIC

[Daniels Vanags]

Hello,

 

FreeBSD 6.3 has new device called lagg(4).

 Lagg is a link aggregation and link failover interface.

 With lagg we can easily bond two NIC interfaces together. 

 But how we can do NIC teaming in FreeBSD 6.2? Please help. 

 

Thanks,
