ReadyNAS 3200 NIC teaming with Cisco Catalyst 2960-S

my hardware - ReadyNAS 3200
RAIDiator 4.2.21
NIC Teaming set to: Transmit Load Balancing

both NICs are connected to Cisco Catalyst 2960-S switch, cisco port config:
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/10
description ReadyNAS p1

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/11
description ReadyNAS p2


on the ReadyNas I have got an iSCSI target created with VMware ESXi 5 connected to it.
All seem to be working fine but I see considerable amount of dropped packets on the ReadyNAS NICs:

Network Errors  [Ethernet 1+2]

TX packets 17480798428
TX errors 0
TX dropped 0
TX overruns 0
TX carrier 0
RX packets 7142454933
RX errors 49
RX dropped 25250666
RX overruns 0
RX frame 49
Collisions 0


what is causing this? :cry: how can I fix it?

  • Hmmm - also noticed this on my NFS setup. Will change some things around tomorrow to see if I still get those drops.
  • Tom,
    To reply, are you sure you have set up Teaming/ LAG correctly on switch.?

    I don't support the Cisco switches, but if it were a Netgear switch, I would be saying to have
    LAG ( Link Aggregation ) created, and the same LACP Protocol settings on both
    switch and Teamed NAS ethernet ports.
