Need help configuring Link aggregation between an ESXI 6.0 host and an Alcatel- Lucent OS6450-P48 switch.
What I have done.
ESXI Host:
Vswitch0
Load balancing: Route Based on IP hash
Network Failover Detection: Link status only
Notify Switches: Yes
Failback: Yes
Active Adapters: vmnic0-3
Alcatel-Lucent Switch:
I have tried both Static and Dynamic
Static:
static linkagg 2 size 4
static agg 1/23 agg num 2
static agg 1/24 agg num 2
static agg 1/25 agg num 2
static agg 1/26 agg num 2
vlan 55 port default 2
Dynamic:
lacp linkagg 2 size 4 actor admin key 5
lacp agg 1/23 actor admin key 5
lacp agg 1/24 actor admin key 5
lacp agg 1/25 actor admin key 5
lacp agg 1/26 actor admin key 5
vlan 55 port default 2
I have also tried configuring the link aggregation group "2" to trunk vlan 55 but it didn't change anything.
Currently, if I just have my regular config on my switch and plug all 4 wires in then I can still get to the ESXI host but I don't think it is doing any load balancing over the 4 cables. Once I configure static or dynamic link aggregation on the physical Alcatel- Lucent switch I can no longer get to the ESXI host unless I unplug all but 1 cable.
