VERIFY AND TEST LACP BOND?

[danialwaheed]

I have configured LACP bonds between 2x 10Gig ports and connected them to TrueNAS VM. Now i want to verify the combined 20Gb link between Proxmax and TrueNAS using IPerf. Can anybody help, How to do that?
Iperf is running on TrueNAS, i want to install/configure it on Proxmox Server so its link can be verfied

 

[aaron]

Start iperf in server mode on one machine and in client mode on the other. For example (iperf3 as I have that installed):

On the server machine
iperf3 -s -B 192.168.0.5 -p 5002

On the client:
iperf3 -c 192.168.0.5 -p 5002

For more details on the parameters check the man pages, e.g. man iperf or man iperf3

iperf3 -s -B 192.168.0.200 -p 5002
Yes i am running the same command in proxmox server shell but i get the following reply
-bash: iperf3: command not found

Well, then you need to install it
apt install iperf3 should do the trick. Proxmox VE is based on Debian.

getting this reply after installing and running the previous command

iperf3: error - unable to start listener for connections: Cannot assign requested address
iperf3: exiting

iperf3: error - unable to send control message: Bad file descriptor

 

[danialwaheed]

TrueNAS has an ip address 192.168.0.10 while Proxmox Server has ip 192.168.0.50:8006
Will you please now tell me the complete commands to run on TrueNAS and Proxmox server, to check the bandwidth of conection between them using IPerf.

Received following reply after running the following commands:
iperf3 -s on server
iperf3 -c 192.168.0.50 0n TrueNAS.

Doesn't look too good? How is your network setup? Does the PVE and TrueNAS server each have multiple interfaces? How is the network infrastructure in between?
