Hi,

Does Fast Etherchannel work if there are intermediate switches in the way,
if each channel is guaranteed a separate path?

e.g. Switches A and Z are joined by two channels to create a 200Mbit/s link.


     +------- Switch B -------+
     |                        |
Switch A                 Switch Z
     |                        |
     +------- Switch C -------+

Are the MAC addresses of B and C going to confuse the port aggregation
protocol?

Sam
