Load balancing scheme for 802.3ad

Featured Replies

I'm attempting to set up my old Unraid drive using LACP.

 

I've done this before, I'm familiar with it. This time around though, as soon as I set the bonding mode to {LACP}/{802.3ad}/{4}, I get disconnected. It was very easy to find the correct file to undo the changes thanks to Unraid's super straightforward file structure.

 

Before undoing the changes though; in the switch I see the port channel changes to active and I see the ports actively participating. On Unraid's console network is dead however. Ports are up, the bond and the bridge interfaces are up, IP addresses* are set, and routing tables* are correct but I still can't ping any of the VLANs' gateways or neighboring/in-(broadcast)domain IP addresses.

 

*: both v6 and v4

 

Since I've done this before, on the same core switches, everything is OK and the switch reports something is going on, the my logical conclusion is that the wrong load balancing scheme is set. It's set to Source/Destination MAC,

VLAN, Ethertype, Incoming Port, this is the default; layer 2 only but it supports layer 4 load balancing as well.

 

I'm gonna screenshot it if that's OK, I'm dyslexic and I'm sure I'll write all nonsense if I try to transcribe them:

The other switch supports a much shorter set of load balancing modes:

It sort of matches, if you take out VLAN and Ethertype which I believe you can't — at least Ethertype — they're just not specified in the bottom switch's screenshot.

 

Could you help me sort this out, please?

Thanks in advance 😃
