Re: Port Aggregation NM-4E

In theory, it could work, but I don't know for sure because I've never tried
it, and never would -:) Something easy that will work is purchase another
NM-1FE You can get one for less than $200. The 3620 is not a very beefy
router and you won't get more than about 20MB/s of throughput. Another
solution is to buy a 2621 or a 2611XM, both have dual FastEthernets and have
about the same throughput (maybe more) as a 3620.

You need to verify that a 2912XL support LACP in order to avoid MAC flapping
if you go the NM-4E route.

Hello
I have a C3620 (16F/64D) IOS 12.3(24) IP/FRW/IDS PLUS that is doing the
firewall /nat device for my lan.

My network is this:

Edge Router C2650
"dmz switch" HP Procurve 2512

hp switch -> (DMZ/wan side) Eth1/0-----NM4E --{C3620} --NM-1FE-TX--- LAN
C2950T-24

Can I bound all the four port of the NM-4E (or even just 2 or 3) to form a
single port? The answer should be yes using the bridge group.

If I eventually replace the HP Switch with a Cisco Catalyst 2912XL, could
I bound multiple ETH ports on the NM4E to aggregate bandwidth?
So I could transfer from the LAN (100mbit) to the DMZ side, at an higher
speed?

Thank you
