I'm looking for some help with LACP setup. Specifically, with VLANs over LACP links. I currently have LACP setup and working properly however only on the link's native subnet. I can use a non-LACP uplink and put it into a 5.1 or 5.5 VDS and get VLANs working just fine... however for the life of me I can't get it working properly over an LACP link.
My head is spinning... I'm wondering everything from "is my hardware able to support this" to "do I have it configured properly"... This is a lab environment and our lab switches only support static LAGs but the firewall does fully support LACP... I am running two gigabit cat6 cables from the interfaces on the firewall directly to the ESXi 5.5 host and as I said, it works fine on the native subnet of the link but as soon as I start adding VLANs the machines connected to those port groups don't pull IP's. If I break up the LACP link I can run any number of static uplinks to the ESXi host and push any number of VLANs to any number of ports or port groups.
As I see it I've configured the LACP link both at the firewall and at the ESXi host. So now I have packets going from the firewall to the ESXi host --some are tagged (VLANs) and some are not (native subnet on the LACP link). I built the LACP link in ESXi and assigned the VLANs to the port groups but only the native (untagged) subnet is working... Is the problem that I am sending both tagged and untagged packets into the VDS? What do I need to do to get the VLAN port groups working?
Thanks and I hope that makes sense.
