You need a port channel interface and make the switchports member of the port channel. some thing like: ! interface Port-channel1 description 2 combined interfaces to freebsd fec0 switchport ! only needed for vlan tagging... ! switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q ! switchport trunk allowed vlan x,y,z,... ! switchport mode trunk ! mtu 9216 no ip address interface GigabitEthernet5/1 description UPLINK #1 switchport ! needer only for vlan tagging ! switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q ! switchport trunk allowed vlan x,y,z,... ! switchport mode trunk ! mtu 9216 no ip address no cdp enable channel-group 1 mode on interface GigabitEthernet5/2 description UPLINK #2 switchport ! needer only for vlan tagging ! switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q ! switchport trunk allowed vlan x,y,z,... ! switchport mode trunk ! mtu 9216 no ip address no cdp enable channel-group 1 mode on > > When I tried to ping various hosts, however, I got sporadic and > intermittent connectivity to other hosts on the network.
