Ah yes. herin lies my dilemma...

 

 

We don't want to run spanning tree from the F5's... We'd rather they just didn't act as a bridge. However although you can disable spanning tree, you can't seem to influence whether the F5 bridges across multiple interfaces in a vlan. And when trunking instead of just using multiple interfaces, there's no docs to say what happens if LACP isn't utilised (ie Does it just fall back to active/standy?)

 

 

There doesn't seem to be any clear docs at this level of detail.
