NetRAIN over LAG Supported.

With this release, it is now possible to run NetRAIN over link aggregation (LAG).

Previously, you could not simultaneously use NetRAIN for redundant network devices and LAG (trunking) on the same network cards. Although the use of LAG provided redundancy, it could not provide a redundant switch solution because all devices must be connected to the same switch.

With the installation of this kit, you can run NetRAIN over LAG; that is, have two or more LAG trunk groups contained within a NetRAIN set. Although only one LAG group will be active at one time, the benefit is that it allows the use of redundant switches with a high bandwidth LAG group.

To configure this support, first create your LAG groups, then place each group (lag0, lag1) into a newly configured NetRAIN set. Refer to the lagconfig(8) and nr(7) reference pages for details.
