Does the the AirPort Extreme support trunking (link aggregation, IEEE 802.1AX-2008 or IEEE 802.3ad) on it's wired ethernet ports?

I am wondering if the latest AirPort Extreme supports trunking (also known as link aggregation, IEEE 802.1AX-2008 or IEEE 802.3ad)? The idea is to attach two ethernet cords between this AirPort Extreme and another switch that supports trunking.

Airport Extreme VLAN support

I am looking at getting the latest model of the Airport Extreme but I have a question first. Does the Airport Extreme support IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Packet tagging? I have a firewall with the ability to have VLANs to segregate traffic. If possible what I would like to do is set the Guest wireless to a separate VLAN than the normal traffic. An before you suggest it the Airport will not be going in front of my firewall.

Can I add a hub to increase the number of wired ethernet connections?

I'd like to extend the wired connection to other devices (Blue Ray player and DVR), but I've exceeded the number of ethernet ports in the back of the AirPort Extreme.

Does the Airport extreme provide any sort of usage reporting? Either per user or aggregate usage of the broadband port would be nice.

My current router provides a graph of traffic on the broadband interface. I know other N type routers on the market are capable of reporting per-user stats. Is the Airport Extreme as capable?

Does Airport Extreme support port 587?

Verizon has blocked port 25 and they are using port 587 for sending email. My Netgear router doesn't support port 587. Does Airport extreme support port 587 and is it easy to setup?

Thanks!

I need 16 ethernet 1000 ports AND dualband wireless G/N. How to expand the AirPort Extreme Base Station to give 13 more ethernet for onlineLANparty?

We regularly host LAN parties, most of which are wired through a hub and are off-line. However, more and more games are requiring that each PC be connected to STEAM and/or LIVE so we are looking for a solution where we can have 16 wired computers running at the same time, PLUS we want to have the flexibility to connect to the same network via wireless G or N.

The AirPort Extreme Base Station appears to be the perfect choice for the wireless aspect, but it only has 3 ethernet 1000 ports. Most other options only have 4. Is there a way for us to expand the number of ethernet 1000 ports on the AirPort Extreme Base Station?

We will further use this to connect PCs on CAT5e cables throughout our home. We have a dedicated Windows XP PC hooked up to the TV for Netflix and music (work) stations in the kitchen and two bedrooms, so we want those to be wired into 4 of the 16 wired ports.

I would guess that I could just plug a hub into one of the ethernet ports, but I don't know if that would get all the HUBbed PCs onto the internet or not.
