RE: [enterasys] HP NIC Teaming...

[Matt Clark]

My experience with Teaming HP NICs has been to not create a LAG and on the switch and just configure the NIC. Whenever I created a LAG it broke the teaming.   Matt Clark IT Engineer Pinal County Information Technology Office: 520.866.6650  |  Mobile: 520.705.1575  |  FAX: 520.866.2911 Please take a moment to fill out the survey regarding this inquiry / experience with our department. http://pinalcountyaz.gov/Departments/InformationTechnology/Surveys/NetworkInfrastructure-CustomerSurvey.aspx >>> From: Stephen Wilson <swil...@email.wcu.edu> To: "Enterasys Customer Mailing List" <enterasys@listserv.unc.edu> Date: 12/23/2010 2:39 PM Subject: RE: [enterasys] HP NIC Teaming... Nick,   You are correct, you should see the ports as attached if the team were in fact functioning.  I believe the load-balance method you’re looking for on the server side is 802.3ad Dynamic with Fault Tolerance.  The SLB is for using aggregated links that do not support LACP (i.e. EtherChannel), whereas 802.3ad will enable LACP on the server side and should bring the lag up.   Stephen Wilson Network Manager Western Carolina University 828-227-3215     From: Nick Allen [mailto:nick.al...@tbwa-group.co.uk] Sent: Thursday, December 23, 2010 2:28 PM To: Enterasys Customer Mailing List Subject: Re: [enterasys] HP NIC Teaming...   Hi Jay,   Sorry - yes typo:   set vlan egress 100 ge.3.35;ge.3.45;lag.0.2 untagged   Cheers,   N.

Hi guys, Hopefully a very basic question for someone. With HP NIC Teaming on Windows 2008 R2, we've been advised that "Switch assisted load balancing with fault tolerance (SLB)" is the best option for a NIC team connected to an Enterasys C2G stack, provided we manually create the LAG. I've created the LAG as follows: set lacp aadminkey lag.0.2 102 set port lacp port ge.3.35 aadminkey 102 set port lacp port ge.3.45 aadminkey 102 I've done quite a few switch-to-switch LAG's so am familiar with seeing entries under "Attached ports" when the LAG is active but this one shows none: ================================================ C2Stack(su)->show lacp lag.0.2 Global Link Aggregation state: enabled Single Port LAGs:              disabled Aggregator: lag.0.2                         Actor                  Partner System Identifier:     00:11:88:64:7F:AA    18:A9:05:60:FA:10  System Priority:                 32768                32768        Admin Key:                   102         Oper Key:                   102                  768   Attached Ports:     None. C2Stack(su)-> ================================================ The partner Mac address is the Mac address of the Team, but the question is - should I be seeing ge.3.35 and ge.3.45 as "Attached Ports:" if it's functioning correctly? These ports are in VLAN 100 by the way, so I've also made sure the same VLAN can egress the lag: set vlan egress 100 ge.1.36-46;lag.0.2 untagged Thanks, Nick. -- This e-mail is intended only for the named person or entity to which it is addressed and contains valuable business information that is proprietary, privileged, confidential and/or otherwise protected from disclosure.
