@ -71,6 +71,17 @@ Each of the connected many links may be considered to be up or down.
Packets are never delivered out a many hook that is down.
How a link is determined to be up or down depends on the node's
configured link failure detection algorithm.
.Pp
Before an interface or link can be plumbed into a group, its status
must be marked as being
.Dq up .
This is normally setup during the initial boot stages by
.Xr rc.conf 5 .
It is also possible to change an interfaces status to
.Dq up
by using the
.Xr ifconfig 8
utility.

More transmit and link failure algorithms should be supported.
A good candidate is Cisco's Etherchannel.
