LACP aggregation on separate switches

jbemonet · 02-10-2009, 09:16 AM

Hello,

I'm working on LACP architecture. I would like to know if it's possible to aggregate two links on two separate switches.

Here an example I want : Aggregation of link1 and link2 to obtain a logical 2 gbit/s link. Also have redundancy, if one of them is down, the traffic goes through the other link still up.

I still haven't found some examples of configuration to realize it. All switches in the example are made by Extreme Network.

Best regards

jb

This would be largely dependent on your switch manufacturer. Extreme does do this but you would need to check with the manufacturer about which models support it. I came across this thread which mentions Extreme XOS but nothing more ...
