Look at the switch counters for the interfaces, they should Both be counting up bits and frames when the port channel Is moving data...

Catalyst 2900 and [7:72601] Hi everybody I have a Compaq server with 2 NC3121 cards. According with the docs, the card supports Fast Etherchannel static configuration (ON). I couldn't find a procedure to set up Fast Etherchannel for the network card so I did what I thought it was better. I selected the following : Teaming control =Load balancing Load balancing options: ----------------------------------- [x]Switch assisted load balancing [ ]Transmit load balancing ----------------------------------- [x ]Balance with MAC addresses [ ]Balance with IP addresses ----------------------------------- On the switch side I set up the following: interface Port-channel no ip address flowcontrol send off ! interface FastEthernet0/1 no ip address channel-group 1 mode on ! interface FastEthernet0/2 no ip address channel-group 1 mode on Everything looks fine, the redundancy works but how can I see if it works ? I mean the load balancing. I don't know the SNMP OID to monitor that interface. Judging by the blinking lights it works only on one interface. I made the tests selecting different classes of IPs (10 mod 2 and 10 mod 5) for transmission on the server side I set up the switch on source balancing. Not very sure that both MAC aren't in the same class (MAC) mod 2. The 'show int' command shows me load only on the first interface of the channel. The 'debug etherchanel' shows that the switch senses the disconnecting of the interfaces (if I test this). Any clue ?
