Hello,

I have bought Netis ST3310GF and have successfully configured LACP on Mikrotik hEx and 1 Proxmox Server. It works perfectly. After I have bought another NIC with 2 ports and I have found that LACP not working for 2 Server.

1 Server NIC:
Intel Corporation 82575EB Gigabit Network Connection

2 Server NIC
Intel Corporation 82576 Gigabit Network Connection


After some time I have turned LACP on 1 Server. LACP starts work on 2 Server normally. I have found that there is Link Aggregation Group in Partner's Info has similliar value - 9. If i will turn two server simultaneously - one of them will have status of Aggragation - False.

I have tryed to find solution to force change this Group in Proxmox but no success.

Is it posssible?

P.S.
2 Server mode now - balance-xor that's why there is no info in Partner's view.
 
I do not understand your question?
From quick googling the Netis ST3310GF seems to be a small managed switch (no explicit mentioning of LACP, but Link Aggregation)?
The microtik is a 5-port router
* Where did you configure LACP ? (between router and switch, between switch and server)?
* The screenshot indicates that Aggregation works?!

* balance-xor is not LACP - but a independent bonding mode - LACP is 802.3ad - see https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt

please post some logs of the PVE-node and explain what issue you have and what you want to achieve

Thanks!

In Netis ST3310GF LACP was added in last Firmware.

I ahve configure LACP between RouterBOARD 750G r3 (MikroTik) and Netis ST3310GF - Have added 7 and 8 port in Trunk. (Trunk Group 3)
Also have configured LACP between Netis ST3310GF and my Server - Have added 3 and 4 port in Trunk. (Trunk Group 2)

I have tryed to configure LACP on 2 Server, but no success because group ID is similliar to 1 Server.

I need to configure it in Proxmox node, but didn't find where I could do it.

So my 2 Server works only in Balance XOR with Link Aggregation type. (Trunk Group 1)

no experience with NetIs switches - but it's new to me that you'd need to set an explicit group id on the server side for LACP...

please post the errors of the PVE-node you're seeing and your network configuration (/etc/network/interfaces)
You can see various bonding parameters in /sys/class/net/bondX (where bondX is the name of the bond-interface)


I would also ask NetIs support for the issue...

I hope this helps!
