You can't be transparent with respect to LACP if you're using ethernet to bridge. It doesn't make sense - LACP is negotiated between bridge ports on a point-to-point ethernet interface. > You mean I need to have four physical interfaces ? > I can't understand how too accomplish this. > Currently, I am doing : > brctl addif eth1 > brctl addif eth2 No - you don't need four physical interfaces. I was trying to extrapolate what problem you might be trying to solve, and I think I guessed wrong. I imagined that you needed a multi-interface bundle through a Linux bridge. If you just want your box to speak LACP to the adjacent switches, you could easily make bond interfaces with single ethernet interfaces. But it sounds like you don't want to speak LACP to the switches, you want to pass it as if you were a layer 1 device.
