Hello Jim,

The link you provide is pretty decent. Look further down the page for the
config example. A good explanation falls in that section.

Next ... find yourself two switches, connect these to each other, and
configure only one switch and not the other. Configure one w/ LACP and not
the other (default is pagp) ... , etc ...

While doing this step by step, you will see some interesting messages pop up
telling you of config problems or a success.

Would suggest you take this approach when learning this technology. Have
fun!

Please also post your error messages or questions ..., would be fun to learn
with you. ;-)

HTH,

Andrew Lee Lissitz
