Hello,

Just wondering can anyone offer advice.

Have the following topology:

Router - Switch - Router

configured with:

Router (Etherchannel 2 FE) - Switch (Nothing, just regular VLAN) -

Router(Etherchannel 2 FE)

problem is no traffic seems to go out on second FE's....

I understand that Etherchannel on Router is based around and EX-OR on the

Source/ Dest IP......

I have tried all flavors of IP source/ dest...and no traffic exits on second

FE.....although I know Etherchannl is working as when I fail one FE, its

kicks over to second immmedaitely....thoughts ??????

Also I would have expected each FE Interface to use its own MAC for packets,

so that if a switch sits in the middle, there are individual MAC's against

the port...but it appears to use a single MAC which is assigned to the Port

Channel interface...

any advice appreciated...
