Agreed.    LACP is the way to go, avoids all kinds of problems.   Static mode 
bundles fall into the same category in my mind as forcing speed/duplex on 
Ethernet, just a bad/old idea that bites you in the butt in many common failure 
scenarios.    What Gert points out about knowing both sides are configured 
right with LACP has saved us many times from a potential black-hole as a result 
of a loopback cable or tech placing a patch cable incorrectly.     That being 
said, on the IP side of our network (ie routed interfaces) we just use ECMP for 
most everything these days due to it being even easier to deal with from a 
troubleshooting and management standpoint.   


Thanks,
John
