Multi-Chassis LAG

Does the switch core have the ability to support Multi-Chassis LAG?

This would be pretty huge in sites where you have LAG's to radios and between router, etc.

Now that I have a site (the first of… many) that have multiple Netonix switches, I want to second Adair's request. MCLAG makes more sense once we have 10G uplinks/crosslinks, but I'd use it even now where I'm running 2-gig LAGs everywhere I can.

The switch core can do it. Well, actually, it isn't dependent on the switch core at all, its all in the software (its really an extension to LACP). The software doesn't currently support it, but it could probably be added.

That's great news, Eric.

Given the conversation that's happening these days around significant backhaul upgrades and expansion, I think Adair and I are the thin end of the wedge on this feature. Love Netonix, keep it coming. :)
