I’ve been playing around recently with backups, trying to get them going again for my data. I’m moving the backups to my oldest Mac, a G5 Metal Tower. I purchased a gig ethernet card for it and since it comes with built-in gig I wanted to setup LACP<\/a> with it.<\/p>\n

LACP will bond the two ethernet cards into one link on my switch. I set the switch up and had LACP working. I could verify it was working since I also set it for my NAS which was happily used the LCAP ports.<\/p>\n

The key to setting up LCAP on Leopard is the the little ‘tool’ widget\/control in the Network Preference Pane:<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Selecting Manage Virtual Interfaces leads you to this sub-panel:<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

Where you can create a new bonded ‘virtual’ interface. <\/p>\n

You can then add in your two ethernet interfaces to this, and the should come up and negotiate with teh LCAP enabled ports on your switch.<\/p>\n

I’m only running Leopard on my G5, but it had some serious errors with both interfaces plugged into the switch. It came up but had no BW – it could barely load a web page. Unplugging one of the physical links resolved the issue, but defeats the purpose of the LCAP. I’m doing more investigation as to why this won’t work properly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
