[j-nsp] 802.3ad between M5 & Cisco cat3750

[Niels Bakker]

I have enormous difficulty separating your text from my original prose.
Please quote properly, and/or switch to a mailer that does so, instead
of Outlook.  Also, Broadwing's mail server sent me a notice that a mail
from you to me had been blocked; that looks extremely broken.

I see.  Yes, any `autonegotiation' is optional.  For CatOS the lingo is
something like "set trunk mode on" (instead of "desired"), I think.

Under JunOS you can configure interface aeN (N = 0, ...) just as you
would otherwise have configured ge-X/Y/Z.

Port security on a Foundry switch works with aggregated links, although
we've found (and had fixed) some bugs in that area earlier this year.
This would be in a switching-only environment, though.
