Hello, I am going to connect a vmware esx server to a 9702 switch using multiple nics in the "real" server. What is the recomended configuration for the vmware server and for the switch ports?
Tahnks for your help
Vmware ESX and 9702 - Alcatel Unleashed
Thanks for your very precious exemple . Could you tell as well what settings do you use for ESXi so that it works? I tried load balancind with 2 NIC with hash based on IP + failover based on link status (the one advised by vmware for Etherchannel support) but it works only partially . IP Connections fails for some IP while it works for some others.jlettinck wrote:An example is shown below (taken from a live vmware environment)
2 link aggregations, 1 consisting of 2 interfaces and one consisting of 4 interfaces.
! Link Aggregate :
static linkagg 1 size 2 admin state enable
static linkagg 2 size 4 admin state enable
static agg 1/3 agg num 1
static agg 1/4 agg num 1
static agg 1/5 agg num 2
static agg 1/6 agg num 2
static agg 1/7 agg num 2
static agg 1/8 agg num 2
as far as I could read on the documentation, LACP is only supported by VDS but not by ESXi itself.blupsy wrote:Hi,
since VM-Ware Rel. 5.1 should be able to use LACP-Linkagg. Have anyone success in testing this feature?
