Chris, Since you are choosing the link based on MAC addresses and only one switch LED is blinking, is your test traffic to stations located across a router? The router will obviously have a single MAC address, so EtherChannel based on MACs will use only a single link. Perhaps you should change to IP balancing.
Regarless of whether you use MAC or IP balancing, make sure that your test includes multiple destinations or you will only ever use one link! - Tom Chris wrote: > Hi everybody > > > I have a Compaq server with 2 NC3121 cards.
