Has anyone setup Channel Bonding using NICs from two Vswiches in Layer 2
mode?
We do not have this running yet but are starting to test ...
There are a couple of reason for this;
1. We found that when you add OSAs to a Vswitch and setup link
aggregation that the OSAs is used only on that Vswitch.
2. When you setup port channeling in the Real Switch you must be
reading (Vswitch side) from every OSA
3. This seems to be the only way we could configure to support a
real switch failure.
|----------------| -------- Osa1 -------
|----------------------|
Eth0 ---- | Vswitch 0 | -------- Osa2 ------- | Real Switch 0
|
/ |----------------| -------- Osa3 -------
|----------------------| (real switches need to have
port channeling and vlan trunking turned on)
