FEC bundles ethernet channels between the same devices. That doesn't help you in a multi switch case. AFAIK you can't tell a switched network that a single MAC is connected to more than one switch. Switches are beleaving to see a loop and disable one port. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
