I have two Dell PowerConnect 8132 (8000 series) in a stacked configuration. My ESXi 5.5 server has a 10 GbE connection to each. The two ports are configured as a LAG on the switch stack in trunk mode. I cannot get the bond to work. The switch stack reports the LAG as "Inactive" and no traffic goes through. I've tried all seven different hash modes on the switch and none work. The vSwitch is configured as follows:
Load Balancing: IP Hash
Network Failure Detection: Link status only
Notify Switches: Yes
Fallback: Yes
If I remove the LAG group on the switch stack I get connectivity but I would obviously prefer LACP. I have a couple Linux and Windows servers configured identically as an LACP LAG and they all work just fine. Any thoughts or ideas?
