Original Question:

        Is this working on TRU64 v5.1a?

        If so, what is the maximum number of cards you can aggregate?

Answer:

        Thanks to Tom Webster (webster@ssdpdc.lgb.cal.boeing.com)

                It's working on Tru64 5.1A w/ PK2 installed. I don't know
what the
                upper limit is, beyond the max count for the system. You
may also
                want to check on the limits on the other side.

                Fault-tolerance is only sported on the 'alt' and 'ee'
devices, not
                on the tulips (tu). I don't know if fault tolerance works
only Tru64
                to Tru64, or if any switch vendors support this scheme.

                I'm using a two port lag group (soon to be a four port) on
our Legato
                backup server to improve through-put to the local backbone
switch.

Regards
Frank
