Failover vs LACP

[DaPlumber]

As Far As I Can Remember, the failover option of LAGG does not require anything from the switch side, unlike LACP which requires switch support?

Also in FreeBSD LAGG failover, what determines if a failover should occur? Would errors rather than a disconnect trigger it?

If it's not obvious, I haven't done any BSD networking in quite some time...;)

You remember correctly:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-aggregation.html

It's not clear to me if errors will cause a failover, my experience is that it takes a link down to cause the failover to happen.

Thank you for the doc pointer, just what I needed!
