I use it with 2 switches, they are 1km away from each other

what you say might be true for round-robin, but not for netif_backup

Only one issue. You have to put them in the same switch; so a switch
failure is not covered.

Here's the scenerio...we're about to reconfigure our environment to make
our network fully redundant. Can anyone give me a reference or some
information on how aix does gig ethernet adapter failover within a box?
would etherchannel be what I set up for that?
