Yes, using LACP trunking on the switch and lagg(4). I'll have to double-check the exact switch models but I believe one is a 2910 and the other is a 28-something. I've also done it using load-balance and fail-over using unmanaged switch ports. Never used round-robin, though. -- Freddie Cash fjwc...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
