Switch LAG setup
Hello,
I have 2 switches ( 2 - 3Com) which are connected via 2 ports using LAG. I'm getting another 48 port Netgear swich this week and want to create a LAG between the other 2 switches. Do I just create a LAG to one of those switches, or to both of them? If I create to one of the 3com's, do I give it the same LAG identity (LAG 1) or do I create another LAG identity (LAG 2)? If I create a LAG to both 3com switches, do I use LAG 2 and LAG 3 or just LAG 1?
Also, all 3 switches are 1GB switches (3com's with 24 ports and Netgear with 48 ports), should I use more than 2 ports for each LAG, or should I use more ports per each LAG? Thanks in advance.

How many ports per LAG do you recommend (currently I have 2 ports on the first LAG)? Is there a standard of 2 per 24 ports?
