Hello all, I started to read about Link Aggregation in Solaris 10 and wanted to
play with it... Well I did purchase Linksys SRW2024 switch, that is 24 port
switch, it suppose to support Link Aggregation. So I did create in my switch
groups for my servers then I did set up Link Aggregation on my servers.
Everything seems to be working great but under my linksys utilization I am
seeing only like 10% utilization on one port in each group and I am only getting
10-17MB/s transfers. I have 2 V240's with bge interfaces, I did put 4 of them
into one group and for some reason I would expect slightly faster transfers...
here is what I did on each server:
eeprom local-mac-address?=true
cd /etc/
mv hostname.bge0 _hostname.bge0
cp -p _hostname.bge0 /etc/hostname.aggr1
ifconfig bge0 unplumb
dladm create-aggr -d bge0 -d bge1 -d bge2 -d bge3 1
ifconfig aggr1 plumb
ifconfig aggr1 inet 192.168.123.10 up
dladm modify-aggr -l active 1
reboot -- -r
of course IP addresses changed in that picture...

Any idea what I did not do right? Or what am I missing? Why I am not able to go
beyond the speed that I am getting?
Thanks for any suggestion or help.
Regards,
Chris
