Hi Chris,

Yes, the 3300 works with the filer. 3300 firmware must be rev 2.0 or above.

Regards, Andrew

This is thinking a few months into the future for us, but it might be useful to know the answer now...

Can one use VIFs in ONTAP together with the port trunking facilities of a 3Com SuperStack 3300 switch to treat two or more 100BaseT connections as a single interface, with load balancing at both ends? Has anyone any experience with such a configuration?
