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
