Hi,
I am trying to use Link-aggregation with redundancy between switches that doesnot support SMLT in switches.
I have 4 network ports. First two are connected to a switch and LACP/LAG is enabled. Third and Fourth ports connect to another switch with another LAG group. I was thinking create two mode 4 bonds and bond those bonds to mode 1 (Active/Passive) bond. But it seems this is not supported yet in kernel (?). How do you guys handle this kind of situation. (And yes without using SMLT between switches).
Thanks Paras.

You can bridge two bonds together, and enable STP to prevent a loop. Although, don't get it wrong on a production network, it's not pretty.

Use decent switches, interlink them and create one big LACP bond across both.

What about BASP? Anyone using it ?
