I'm doing some link aggregation to increase bandwidth. my env is 4 e1000g cards ,a storage device.and a switch which is support LACP ,but I didn't configure the switch. opensolaris 0811/0906 I read blog http://blogs.sun.com/droux/entry/link_aggregation_plumbing http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=78624 and see some one have similar trouble with me. dladm create-aggr -d e1000g0 -d e1000g1 1 dladm modify-aggr -P L2,L3 1 ifconfig aggr1 plumb;ifconfig aggr1 dhcp Now I can ping yahoo.com with the aggr1 IP. But When I use dladm modify -l active /passave 1 then i cant ping gateway . I see some docs writting about link aggregation from internet and they are all accroding to the http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4554
I use the nicstat script to test the network bandwidth.and use the iometer to give it stress. but the result is not very good .the aggr1 bandwidth is the same with a single e1000g card. Now I have to ask , if I aggregation . I have to configure my switch ? my interface is ok. And if some switchs don't support LACP, we cant use the switch to implement link aggregation? I really hope to see some data between single e1000g0 and aggr1. r...@opensolaris:~# dladm show-aggr -L LINK PORT AGGREGATABLE SYNC COLL DIST DEFAULTED EXPIRED aggr1 e1000g0 yes no no no no no -- e1000g3 yes no no no no no r...@opensolaris:~# dladm show-aggr LINK POLICY ADDRPOLICY LACPACTIVITY LACPTIMER FLAGS aggr1 L2,L3 auto off short ----- r...@opensolaris:~# dladm show-aggr -s LINK PORT IPACKETS RBYTES OPACKETS OBYTES IPKTDIST OPKTDIST aggr1 -- 6655 665018 230 22223 -- -- -- e1000g0 8093 803644 2047 180748 30.8 890.0 -- e1000g3 6655 665018 230 22223 3.5 100.0 r...@opensolaris:~# dladm show-link LINK CLASS MTU STATE OVER e1000g0 phys 1500 up -- e1000g1 phys 1500 down -- e1000g2 phys 1500 up -- e1000g4 phys 1500 down -- e1000g3 phys 1500 up -- aggr1 aggr 1500 up e1000g0 e1000g3 -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
