Hi All,

Is anyone successfully using the Link Aggregate facility
available with 5.1A PK1?

Having read the docs, I've a couple of questions:

1. It says in one place that LAT cant be run over a lag.
   Does this mean that if I want to run LAT I cant
   have a lag at all? I have 4 tu ports, and could perhaps
   use 1 for LAT and 3 for a lag. Is this possible?
   How would I ifconfig them etc?

2. In another place, it says that if the connections from
   a lag-enabled server go to a switch, the switch has to
   be 'aggregate-enabled'. Is it talking about a regular
   (e.g. 3Com) ethernet switch here? Are such things
   configurable in this way, or does it require a special box?


Cheers,
Terry.
