One server ibm aix with 2 NIC's that have etherchannel set with mode 8023ad. I have two 2960 switches with switch A gigabit port connected switch B gigabit port. Can I have 1st NIC (primary link) going to Switch A and 2nd NIC (backup link) going to Switch B. Do I have to do any configuration on the switches?

You can have 1 as a backup but you cannot etherchannel between switches if that is what you are asking .

Hi!
Could you setting the etherchannel with the AIX Server?
I configured in my switch 4510 with a AIX, but the 2 ports with channel-group keep in suspend. This is the configuration
interface Port-channel2
description ## LACP AIX ##
switchport
switchport access vlan 100
load-interval 30
interface GigabitEthernet4/20
description ## LACP AIX ##
switchport access vlan 100
channel-protocol lacp
channel-group 2 mode active
spanning-tree portfast
!
interface GigabitEthernet4/21
description ## LACP AIX ##
switchport access vlan 100
channel-protocol lacp
channel-group 2 mode active
spanning-tree portfast
This configuration works with a server Dell with windows 2008.
The schema is 1 switch 4510 with etherchannel to AIX.
Thanks!
