Hi everyone, I am building a small HPC cluster with two slaves and a master. I can put together two slave nodes with under 350$ per node, so I don't want to spend more then 70-80$ for networking. Buying a gigabit ethernet 4 port switch would be the most straightforward solution. However, I was hoping to get "port trunking" set up, and doubling the network speed. Since this is not supported by switches that are within my budget, I wondered if I can achieve port trunking without a switch, just adding couple of network cards to the master node and having a master node be a switch. WIll I be able to get 2Gbps or is this idea completely idiotic? Thanks, F. -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
