Hi, As already said, configuration need to be : static LAG + vlan egress tagged for logical and physical ports.
The load balancing algorithm (outportalgorithm) need to be DIP-SIP (by default on S/N products families). Regarding the algorithm you need to understand than more than 2 physical ports are not always usefull. That depends on how many destination-source flows (mac, IP, RR or L4) at a time you will have over the LAG, you need to monitor the traffic. Here are a VMware article (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1004048): The following are EtherChannel supported scenarios: One IP to many IP connections. (Host A making two connection sessions to Host B and C) Many IP to many IP connections. (Host A and B multiple connection sessions to Host C, D and etc) Note: One IP to one IP connections over multiple NIC is not supported. (Host A one connection session to Host B uses only one NIC). Compatible with all ESX/ESXi VLAN configuration modes: VST, EST, and VGT. For more information on these modes, see VLAN Configuration on Virtual Switch, Physical Switch, and Virtual Machines (1003806). Supported Cisco configuration: EtherChannel Mode ON - ( Enable Etherchannel only) Supported HP configuration: Trunk Mode Supported switch Aggregation algorithm: IP-SRC-DST short for (IP-Source-Destination) Supported Virtual Switch NIC Teaming mode: IP HASH Note: The only load balancing option for vSwitch or vDistributed Switch that can be used with EtherChannel is IP HASH. Do not use beacon probing with IP HASH load balancing. Do not configure standby uplinks with IP HASH load balancing. Lower model Cisco switches may have MAC-SRC-DST set by default and may require additional configuration.

By far the best way of knowing what's happening. Say you have three vlans; 10, 20, 30 and you want ge.1.1 and ge.2.1 as ports in the lag.0.1 (assuming you've created the static lag already and assigned the ports to the lag with the same aadminkey) set vlan egress 10,20,30 ge.1.1;ge.2.1;lag.0.1 tagged Regards, Andy Middlehurst -----Original Message----- From: Dirk Cornelis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 17 May 2011 10:09 To: Enterasys Customer Mailing List Subject: [enterasys] Vmware lacp setup question Hi All, I need to set up multiple Vmware ESX servers(version esxI, 4 and 4.1) on an S8 switch, I would like to know the recommended, or best way to configure a 3 or 4 way 1G connection using LACP and supporting multiple VLANS ... I already know we need to use static LACP, but unsure about which interfaces need to have the tagged vlan definitions, only the LACP or each interface in the lacp? Singleportlag is already enabled ... Looking for working configs ... Kind Regards.
