First, thanks again to all who responded to my questions about migration to a new switch.
The next question concerns NetApp support for trunking. Our F760 has two quad Ethernet cards, and our F740 has one. Each group of four is currently trunked together, and we would like to keep them that way.
The guy in charge of the new switch wants to know how NetApps support groupings: port based, address based, or round robin? This http://forums.netapp.com/conversation.asp?tid=1&vid=9553&thd=1&cid=51 says trunking is done on a per MAC address level, but in the archives of this list I saw references to round robin and didn't know if that may also be an option.
So, what should I tell the switch manager? And, if it's something that can be administered on the NetApp, what command or commands do you use, with what parameters? I think I understand the vif command, but the versions I have (Release 5.3.4R3 on the F740; Release 5.3.6R2 on the F760) don't seem to have a parameter that selects a trunking algorithm.
Thanks!
