hm you have 4 vlans, so you should have 4 ip-adresses
when you just want one ip-adress you need one vlan
but anyway it is possible to channel 8 ports,
see
"smitty etherchannel"
the channeled ports should be on the same switch/router, 8 ports on the same switch is not really recommended, the 4 cards should be from the same type
also talk to your network team, port channeling/trunking must be configured on the switch too in most cases

Hi All,
I'm trying to configure a vlan interface, to do this I'm using the following command "vconfig add eth0 20". I have my interface up and running, but when I test it using "ping -I eth0.20 192.168.1.1" and in other console use "tcpdump -i eth0.20" I can not see any tagged frame.

Hey everyone. I work in a data center, and I'm working on getting my CCNA. Now when I read articles on the idea of VLAN's it makes sense.

In a "typical" data centre environment (telco, financial services etc), would a Linux OS typically have one IP address connected to one VLAN or would it have many IPs and/or VLANs.

NAME
fence_vixel - I/O Fencing agent for Vixel FC switches
SYNOPSIS
fence_vixel [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
fence_vixel is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with Vixel FC switches. It logs into a Vixel switch via telnet and removes the spec-
ified port from the zone. Removing the zone access from the port disables the port from being able to access the storage.
fence_vixel accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_vixel can be run by itself with command line options which is useful for testing.
After a fence operation has taken place the fenced machine can no longer connect to the Vixel FC switch. When the fenced machine is ready
to be brought back into the GFS cluster (after reboot) the port on the Vixel FC switch needs to be enabled. In order to do this, log into
the Vixel FC switch. Then go to:
config->zones->config <port> <comma-separated-list-of-ports-in-the-zone>
Then apply
