So, the choice seems to be based on control of the link (which I have both ends in separate buildings) and if LACP will cause a metric change (EIGRP it won't, OSPF it will). Anything else I'm missing?

So, how do you do it in a network? First, you're going to need a switch/router that supports link aggregation (LACP, 802.1ax/ad, etc.). Unfortunately, most consumer-level switches and routers do ...

Link Aggregation (Cisco calls this etherchannel) is the combining of physical ports on a switch to form a single logical channel. By combining 4 1GbE Ethernet ports into a Link Aggregation Group ...

LACP stands for Link Aggregation Control Protocol. This is pretty much equal to 802.3ad. This type of link aggregation is a higher level than standard port trunking and allows for a more seamless ...

Alcatel this week launched a smaller version of its OmniSwitch 9000 series chassis, intended for businesses that do not want to deploy larger, more expensive core switches in the middle tier of a ...

The switches offer advanced functionalities such as IPv6 Layer 2+/3 static routing, DiffServ Quality of Service (QoS) policies, and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). Additionally ...
