Is NIC Teaming possible on an XServe Dual G5 with two Gig Ethernet ports?

[mcbeewl]

Hello AFP548

I have a new XServer Dual G5. This server comes with two Gigabit Network Interfaces (NIs).

Does anyone know if there is a way to do NIC teaming with an Xserve that has Dual NIs. I’d like for the server to use both Giabit ethernet ports as if they are one (NIC Teaming at least thats the term in the Windows world). The NICs through put it aggregated- improving speed, and each NIC serves as fail-over to the other.

I’ve googled this and come up with nada. Any guidence would be greatly appreciated.

if you have 3Com switches remember to set LACP on both port (switch side), manual setting of a link aggregation doesn’t work (at least with my 4924 gigabit switch…)

Bye!
