Hi Larry, any problem doing this with P9 and Cisco Switch?

We configured 3 ports to group and setup the Cisco Switch accordingly but we experience random disconnection on 5250 sessions and RDI.

To be clear, the P9 is remote so we connect to remote workstations via RDP (RDP session don't get disconnected).

It's not a big problem since I can reconnect 5250 and RDI, but the Debug listener in RDI just fades away without message so when you think it should stops it doesn't.

TIA

Piece of cake. Let me know if you want to discuss.

This DOES require configuration of the switch AND IBM i in a
coordinated manner.

You can aggregate from 2 to 8 ports into a single Ethernet line though
we rarely see more than 2 or 3. Once configured the aggregated line is
used like any other Ethernet line.

Is this possible? Can someone point me to some resources on

configuration?
