In de bureau heb ik een 8 poorts switch, er zijn ook 2 netwerkaansluitingen beschikbaar vanaf de berging. Ik wil de 2 netwerkkaarten op mijn PC teamen (samenvoegen), maar dan is er nog de verbinding met de Zyxel switch in de bureau en de HP in de berging.
Nu is er 1 netwerkkabel tussen beide, maar zoek een mogelijkheid om die te verdubbelen, dus 2 gigabit verbinding tussen de 2.
Heb zelf ook al 1 en ander opgezocht.802.3ad (LACP) is om meerdere poorten op 1 switch samen te voegen, wat nu al actief is in de berging. Alleen werkt dit niet tussen switches.
Mogelijkheid A:
Distributed trunking (zoals dit bij HP heet en MC-LAG algemeen, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MC-LAG ) dus.
Nadeel is dat je heel dure (+1000€) netwerkswitches nodig heb voor dit.
Is er geen mogelijkheid B dus een alternatief of workarround om toch zoiets te krijgen ?

The IEEE standard 802.1AX (previously 802.3ad) requires that all the links in a trunk group originate from the same switch. Distributed Trunking uses a proprietary protocol that allows two or more port trunk links distributed across two switches to create a trunk
group. The grouped links appear to the downstream device as if theyare from a single device. This allows third party devices such as switches, servers, or any other networking device that supports trunking to interoperate with the Distributed Trunking Switches
(DTSs) seamlessly. Distributed trunking provides device level redundancy in addition to link failure protection.Distributed trunking switches are connected by an interface called the Inter-Switch-Connect (ISC) port. This interface exchanges information so that the
DTSs appear as a single switch to a downstream device. Each DT switch in a DT pair must be configured with a separate ISC link and Layer 3 peer-keepalive link. The Layer 3 peer-keepalive link isused to transmit keepalive messages when the ISC link is down in order to determine if the failure is a link-level failure or the complete failure of the remote peer. The downstream device is a Distributed Trunking Device (DTD). The DTD forms a trunk with the DTSs. The connecting links are DT links and the ports are DT ports. A distributed Trunk can span a maximum of two switches.
Note:
All DT linked switches must be running the samesoftware version.
