Bonding of interfaces

[dmentorz]

Hi,

I have a question regarding the bonding of interfaces. I have searched all over but not fing a lot of info on balance-xor. I have a managed switch that I aggregated 2 ports with type LACP and set up a bond on proxmox with 2 network adapters using balance-xor. but as soon as the bond is up my local network struglles to get through to the vms on the proxmox. a ping test reveals between 50 % and 90% packet loss.

any ideas on why this might occur ?

all the vms use the e1000 interface and the latest intel divers are installed.

Thanks

Hi,

if you configure LACP on your switch, you should use 802.3ad as bonding mode. If you want to use balance-xor on Proxmox, then I think you should configure your bonded ports on your switch as trunks, but no LACP mode.
