You may wish to clarify the 1Gb/s limit however on the 6148A unless I am
mistaken. Yes, 1 Gig per ASIC but doesn't the 6148A have one ASIC per 8
ports or am I thinking of a different card?
Thank you for the clarification...
Paul

Etherchannels are a little pointless on the WS-X6148-GE card and
similiar. They have 1GB/s ASICs, so you'll never exceed 1GB/s anyhow.
And the ASIC to physical port ratio also limits you.
But generally speaking, cross module etherchannels are a good idea and
AFAIK is recommended from Cisco for high availability.

Peter
