Port-Channel / MLAG Configuration for Ubuntu-Server on two M4500 switches
Hi folks, we need some assistance to setting up a port channel for an Ubuntu server on two Netgear M4500 switches, which we have already connected to each other and configured as MLAG (peer link)...
Hi schumaku,
thank you for your post. The problem could be solved with the support of Netgear L3 Support. The MLAG and the peer link between both switches were correctly configured and operative. There was a faulty line in the configuration of the port channel and misunderstanding of the VLAN-Tagging behaviour (switchport acceptable-frame-types untagged, switchport tagging 1, removing switchport tagging 1 gets server back responding again). Additional on the bond configuration we configured the "lacp-rate: fast" option to recognize faster link failures.

Personally, I'm still more than confused about the feature set supported on the M4500 - MLAG -looks- to me like stacking (clustering or the like), however on an older thread this was discussed there was no common "agreement" (if not even @msi knows....)
LaurentMa please, or contact the Netgear ProAV Design Team.
