Hi, We use the same switches (24 port model). We have 2 of these switches to create an MLAG (aka HP distributed trunking). iPXE is smart enough to handle LACP. It has a simple LACP implementation in it which allows it to use a single connection. However I also remember struggling with this too (with Triton).
I realize your not using Triton but vanilla SmartOS but maybe this info helps. We ended up with: * Headnode admin and external net connections both use LACP. The headnode is connected to the admin vlan switch with a static trunk. * Compute node's only have their external net connections working with LACP. ** All the admin VLAN trunks use "dynamic" LACP in passive mode to allow unprovisioned compute nodes to connect without having LACP configured. This should work like the fallback which Robert described except I couldn't get it working. So in the end I just unplugged the second LACP connection for the compute nodes. External net hands-off failover is the most important for us and that works just fine.
