Hi Dave

Thanks for the link, but its only showing how to tag a vlan to the port, 
which what I am currently doing but with the new ciscos and adding more 
fiber between our routers and switches I wanted to be able to do link 
aggregation.  I am guessing I can't with this system unless I go with 
Trunk mode.
