Link aggregation can never work with two separate switches! LACP and static trunking require both sides to bundle the same trunk. which is impossible for two separate switches. For redundancy, there is the SpanningTreeProtocol, which FreeBSD supports in bridge (4) (more preferrably RSTP). > Saying "it doesnt really work in freebsd" is, to be honest, not so > far off the mark (if somewhat harshly phrased) - but it can be made to > behave if you do it in a certain way, and when it does it runs very nicely. In that case, it's nothing to do with FreeBSD! -Harry
