Hi,

I want to use multiple uplinks between 2 3com switches (4400SE). What do I need to do to make it fast & reliable ? (any issues with spanning tree ? resilient links ? ...)

thanks

Make sure the switches support port aggregation on the desired port types (some do only on gbit ports). If they suport LACP and it is enabled, aggregations will be autodetected. If not, you have to configure them by hand on each switch.

Resilience is for backup links (secondary links are not used until primary fails)

STP should be enabled unless you are sure nobody will try to create a loop.
