June 17, 20179 yr I thought I'd finally try enabling bonding on my tower. I have a DLink DGS-1100-16, which supports trunking or 802.3AD, so why not? After a bit of fumbling and coordination attempts between configuration of the tower and the switch, I got 802.ad working great for my windows machines with transfers topping out at 100MB/s or so, whereas before bonding was enabled they'd top out at 30MB/s or so. Problem was, my Mac OSX clients (all running El Capitan or Sierra) couldn't see the tower at all. Couldn't even ping the tower. They had no issues with the basic non-bonded configuration. Tried searching the forums for similar issues, but people just aren't talking about OSX. I'm assuming this is likely a compatibility issue with the switch, if anything. Anyone have similar issues?
June 18, 20179 yr Before i went 10gbe, I had no issues connecting to my server running 802. Did you try connecting via Go>Connect to server? Probably won't work if it's not pinging... Might try enabling afp on the server?
June 18, 20179 yr Author Think AFP will make a difference? Figured that if you can't ping a machine, the protocol won't matter. Maybe, I don't know enough.
June 18, 20179 yr It can't make it not be able to access it anymore than it already isn't able. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
