Robin,

I have not had time to test this, but the documentation states that it can be done with some of the other mode=x numbers, where the mode number represents different types of bonding ie. round robin, active/standby, etc..

Let us know which mode you go with.

I'm reading the bonding doc, i'll give a try to the active/active mode, just nedd to make shore that bonding emultates only one MAC addr. Need also to understand if the switch needs to deliver a trunk or just a usual port to my box.

I'll come back later with me config.

with my configuration we use vlan tagging and the trunked ports are on separate redundant switches, which requires some configurations on the switch.

Our ciscos are configured to do port-channel, and the ports are trunk ports to allow multiple VLAN's to pass.
