I have acquired a CISCO 200-26 smart switch and so thought i would give link aggregation a go. In unRAID webgui i have enabled the bonding method and on the switch webgui i have bonded the 2 ports and enabled LACP.

 

Is there a way of proving it? and are there any other settings i could/should change to improve the defaults?

 

Thanks

running ifconfig doesn't actually tell me the IP address, but because it is static from previous i can browse the webgui.

 

 

Well i figured it out, as the java terminal used with my micro server motherboard didn't show the entire picture. When i tried it in another terminal window the first thing it displays is bond0 and that shows the ip address.

 

root@Ruby:~# ifconfig

bond0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr xxxxx 

          inet addr:192.168.0.3  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MASTER MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          RX packets:389224 errors:0 dropped:661 overruns:0 frame:0

          TX packets:1804929 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0

          RX bytes:36502916 (34.8 MiB)  TX bytes:2601084195 (2.4 GiB)

 

Looks to be working just fine then, unless someone can see any improvements to the default cisco switch settings?

 

cheers
