Optimal configuration on XS728T for RN626X with LACP bonding
My 10G ports on my RN626X are LACP bonded and plugged in to my XS728T and this appears to work fine without any special configuration on the switch, but am concerned that I am getting suboptimal thro...
Hi
Web Smart Managed Switches only support Layer 2 hashing for LAGs. That is efficient, only issue is when all packets from servers have same destination MAC address = the switch routing interface MAC, when routing enabled on the switch and when clients and servers are in different subnets. If your servers and clients are in same subnet, then L2 (MAC) destination hashing algorithm is good in most cases.
Fully Managed Switches, for instance M4300 series, offer selectable, granular hashing algorithms with L2 (MAC) , L3 (IP) and L4 (TCP/UDP) source and destination address parsing. This offers maximum interoperability.
The XS728T L2 hashing is indicated in datasheet, which is the repository for supported features (and limitations).
Hope this helps.
