Hello
I tried to configure multimode vif's on two different HP ProCurve 3400cl-24G Switches (802.3ad able). I think i have to Cluster the switched, but how???
Thanks in advance andreas
I'm not sure if I understand the problem. Can you explain what doesn't work, and what you've tried? I'm not HP ProCurve expert, but maybe I can help you with the vif setup on the filer?

If you want VIFs spanned across two different switches, then you will need to use the single mode vif. Multimode VIFs are only supported to a single switch. (Anything else wouldn't make sense since all the interface get the same MAC address).
To get more throughput (and still have fail-over between 2 switches) you can combine multimode vifs and singlemode vifs.
e4a and e4b are connected to switch1 e4c and e4d are connected to switch2
then you combine the physical interfaces to MM-vifs
vif create multi mm1 e4a e4b vif create multi mm2 e4c e4d
and finally combine the 2 new mm-vifs for failover between the switches:
vif create single sm mm1 mm2
hope that helps!
