Testing lagg

Hello.

I've got a new box which features two gigabit ports and I though I'd try 
lagg with LACP.

On the box I put the following in /etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_em0="up"
ifconfig_em1="up"
ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto lacp laggport em0 laggport em1 192.168.100.101 
netmask 255.255.255.0"


Then I aggregated the ports on the switch (3com).


This seems to work fine, although I see a 30 seconds delay from the 
moment a network cable is unplugged and the moment the network works again.
Is this normal? Can this time be reduced?
Any other hint or gotcha?



  bye & Thanks
	av.
