Hello World,

The introduction of the DE504 Ethernet card has started my mind racing
and a couple of questions have popped out. I was hoping some one can
answer them!

Can Tru64 support Ethernet channel aggregation/trunking? i.e. if I have
two 100mb/sec Full duplex connection to a cisco catalyst switch can I
combine the channels to achieve 200 mb/sec FD on ONE IP address. I can
do this on Solaris.

The DE504 can would be idea for this.

Also does anyone know if the De504 card will be supported on the 8400.
It would be great for a big box like this to be able to pump down the
network at 200-400 Mb/sec on one IP address for backups and data
transfers.

Thanks
