I think port aggregation is a L2 thing. So the switch has to support
port aggregation (e.g Cisco Catalyst 6500). I think some higher-level
SOHO switches support trunking, but not consumer-grade junk.

I have a GS105 switch - for details, see:
http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/GS105.asp

My question is this:

Does this switch support trunking? I want to use Sun Trunking 1.3 and
connect 4 cables from the server's quad-port 100Mg NIC to the GS105
switch. Will the switch automatically aggregate it''s ports and give
me 400Mg full duplex?

Even the little Cisco switches will do this, so it isn't a router-only
feature. I've certainly got it working.

Correct, the qfe is most definately supported for trunking.

You can use trunking with your qfe but not your switch. On the other hand, I
believe that some cheap-o netgear gig-e cards have been used successfully with
Solaris/SPARC, so you might be able to slap a cheap card in there and solve
your problem that way.

Now that's interesting. I've got an extra Intel Pro/1000 T pci card (better
than cheap-o) I'd like to use. Didn't think it would work in a Sun sparc
system... investigating...

where? It says Intel of course 'cause the e1000g is Intel, but
at the bottom of the page it says

Architecture SPARC, X86

Thanks for the clarification.

As for getting it working, this is a work in progress...
....how to verify that I have the drivers? install/configure?

My Sun Blade 100 recognized the Intel PRO1000T GigE NIC on boot and could be
seen in prtconf -D as e1000g.

There are a couple of patches: 123334-05 and 125120-03 that I installed (along
with 107 others) with Sun's automatic updates feature (ran from CDE - not sure
how to do this from cli).

I plumbed the NIC like this:

ifconfig e1000g0 plumb

so far so good.

But how do I get the NIC to plumb and come up on boot?

Thanks.
