Hi there,

We just got a bunch of brand new PE730 machines dropped off and one of the
new requirements for this install is the use of LACP. These machines all
have dedicated iDRAC/IPMI ports, but for cost/footprint reasons, we're
using them in shared mode instead, although the iDRAC NIC is on a tagged
VLAN interface.

The next step is to join the two onboard 10GigE ports together in an LACP
trunk to an M-LAG switch -- but I am apprehensive about this specific step;
the last I tested, using a non-trunked interface like the iDRAC NIC across
a trunk that's also sending LACPDUs doesn't really work. Our VAR has
assured us that it will, but I am wondering if perhaps they're referring to
other (non-LACP) aggregation modes.

Has or is anyone using this kind of setup?

- LACP across eth0/eth1, untagged by default with some tagged VLANs
- iDRAC/IPMI, tagged, sharing the physical copper with eth0

thanks,
Klaus
