I've got a Dell 2850 server with 2 Intel PRO/1000 MT NICs built in. I'm trying to create an etherchannel using 802.3ad dynamic link aggregation. I have created the team on the server (there aren't many options to specify). On the switch side, I've got a 2970 running 12.2(25)SEB (the very latest).
Here's the output from sho etherchannel detail:

It looks like everything is defined ok, but it's just not aggregating for some reason. On the server side, Intel PROSet shows the status of one NIC as active and the other as Standby.
Anybody got ideas for me? This is my first etherchannel, so I'm hoping there's just something obvious that I'm missing....
Thanks
Pat
