Re: [Avid-L2] Connecting two MacPros via dual gigabit ethernet and multipathing?

 

Tim, thanks for that link. I just gave it a try on Mac OS 10.5.8
(non-server) and found it by typing "Aggregate" into the FIND toolbar on the
System Preferences. This opened up the Network pref with a window allowing
me to make a new Link Aggregate.

I didn't actually test it, but it does appear to be a possibility in the
non-server version.
