Hi,
I need some help in testing a Fast Ethernet card in SONET ADM with
support for Ethernet Over Sonet.
This card supports link aggregation but without LACP support. We can
call this port trunking,
Can some one help me in this regard to know are there Traffic
Generators available to test this functionality and does LACp supported
Traffic Generators can be used for this purpose.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
MSN

This may not be good enough and it would be surprising if no one
made a tester however I know that Cisco will do a
multi channel agregated link without LACP. You could maybe
use a high speed interface and send the packets over the agregated
link.
Most likely won't give you the control you need.

Note that Cisco use different terminology here from some.

EtherChannel or PortChannel - Agregated link
Trunk - Multiple VLANs in one link (or agregated link of course)
