XS712T problem 802.3ad LAG/LACP
Hi,
I'm setting 2 Linux box(BOXA, BOXB) with dual port Nic and 1 XS71T switch.
BOXA : I create bond0 and made appropriate changes(LAG: port0, port1) to XS712T
BOXA and BOXB can ping each other.
So far good..
I create bond0 on BOXB and made appropriate changes(LAG: port2, port3) on XS712T.
We are unable to communicate when bond interface is created on BOXB along configuration changes on the switch.
Hence, I'm wondering what mistake I'm doing when settting up the 2nd LAG on XS71T.
Any help really appreciated.
Thanks
Krishna

Hi Krishna,
What LAG type are you doing? Are you doing LAG LACP? Or Static LAG? What vlans are configured? Are the LAGS participating in the same vlan?

Hi Alex,
Sorry for the late response as switch was busy for other ongoing testing.
Really appreciate you help and guidance to resolve this issue for us.
We are using Static LAG. We didn't do any VLAN setup as I'm assuming it's not required.
Let me share complete configuration
============================
On Linux1
/etc/network/interfaces
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet manual
bond-master bond0
auto eth3

bond-master bond0
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static

As soon as the above configuration is applied on the switch ping stops...
Reboot Linux 2 ping stills doesn't work, though bond0 interface on both the machine are up and running
