LAG port support

Wed Nov 26, 2008 6:11 am

Does anyone know if you can connect MikroTik to a LAG (Link Aggregation Group) configured set of switch ports?

example, I have a RB/1000 and want to connect 2 interfaces to a switch configured to bond 2 ports in one LAG for physical redundancy / additional capacity, and acheive a interface with 2Gbps of link capacity.

I know this could be done with bonding between 2 MikroTik's, but how about at layer 2 for switch port compatibility between one MikroTik and a switch?

BTW, Dell defines a LAG as such:
The PowerConnect 2700 series switches support up to six aggregated links. Each of the
six aggregated links may be defined with up to four member ports to form a single Link Aggregated
Group (LAG).
The benefits of this facility are:
• Fault tolerance protection from physical link disruption
•更高的带宽连接
• Improved bandwidth granularity
• High bandwidth server connectivity
A LAG is composed of ports with the same speed set to full-duplex operation.

so if I understood that correctly, using per packet RR bonding, and on the switch Enabling Ether-channel Unconditionally works.

If ether-channel (Cisco equivlant to a Dell LAG) is set to unconditional, will that prevent failover if one link goes down?
