Greetings- I'd like to configure multiple copper NICs on a server running CentOS 6.2 in a LAGG configuration for better throughput to the core switch. After quite a bit of searching, I'm not seeing anything of the sort. Is LAGG specific to the BSD world and the HP switches I'm running? Or, does it go by a different name? Bonding perhaps? If so, is bonding compatible with LAGG?

Hi Tim,
In Centos you would be doing "nic bonding", it's the same thing.

The big question though, can I bond two NICs on a CentOS system, and connect those interfaces to two LAGG ports on my switches?

again, bonding and link aggregation is just two names for the same thing.

Configure the switches as a LACP port-channel, you probably want to use a host mode (e.g. silent) configuration.
