That's a very useful article! Thanks Randall.
If you look just before that quote it says "no additional configuration is required on the switch". If you look at the following paragraph, it says "requires the switch itself to be configured".
So the answer is that there is more than one way of doing this and the OP does need to read the fine print in the manuals and/or find somebody who has set it up with some recent switches.
I probably should have quoted more, since I see now that there are multiple methods, some that require 802.3ad and some that don't (but still requires some form of aggregation support in the switch). And so on. Definitely read the article if you're going to set up link bonding. By the way, I found it via the Google search "Link Bonding Ethernet Switch Support"
Cheers, Dave
