I have been doing a lot of tinkering with linux based storage (more to come on that!) over the past few weeks and I had to hunt and peck around the internet to find all of the information on using bonding/lacp and vlans in linux so I want to bring it all to one place. All of these configuration files are from Ubnutu but the format should be similar in other distros. All of the switch configurations were on a Cisco 2960 running IOS 12.2-lanbase which is a fairly old and basic switch.
