EtherChannel aggregates multiple network interfaces so that they appear as a single interface. For example you can combine en0 and en1 into an EtherChannel and call the combined interface en2. You then use the NIC agent to monitor this en2 interface and use the IP agent to configure and monitor an IP address on the en2 interface. Note that you use the en2 interface configured through EtherChannel for the Device attribute.
The IP and NIC agents support EtherChannel use with VCS. EtherChannel is responsible for providing local adapter swapping, which is outside of VCS control. Only EtherChannel Backup mode is supported at this time.
