Anybody acheived LACP (802.3ad) with cheapo switches? I've got an XServe with a quad port card and a Netgear GSM7324 layer 3 switch. Regardless of config and implementation I've been unable to get it work, the XServe complains of invalid partners across the connections and switch simply states that none of the links are up even though the link lights are on on the relevant ports and data appears to be passing through. Worth pointing out that the ports and cables work fine in isolation.

I wonder wether it's worth banging my head against a wall, maybe I should simply force my boss to buy Cisco or something that has a shred of credibility.
