Inbound traffic is distributed similar to the Hyper-V port algorithm Dynamic : The Dynamic algorithm combines the best aspects of the two previous algorithms to create an effective load balancing mechanism. More Information on Cisco Switches and configuration articles can be found in our dedicated Cisco Switches section Create the Etherchannel interface by dedicating an equal number of switch ports to that of the physical network adapters participating in the NIC Teaming.
The Port-Channel interface will be configured in Trunk mode for our example: interface Port-channel1 switchport mode trunk. FCXS show interface port-channel 1. Port-channel1 is up, line protocol is up connected.
Hardware is EtherChannel, address is Last input never, output , output hang never. Last clearing of "show interface" counters never.
Received broadcasts multicasts. FCXS show etherchannel 1 summary. Flags: D - down P - bundled in port-channel. I - stand-alone s - suspended. R - Layer3 S - Layer2. U - in use f - failed to allocate aggregator. M - not in use, minimum links not met. Number of aggregators: 1. Group Port-channel Protocol Ports. Third, I installed the Linux software that supports bonding, called ifenslave.
Adding software and modules in Ubuntu is done with the aptget and modprobe commands. My exact commands are as follows:. Below is the configuration that provided the most stable solution on my machine, which I'll explain below. In Linux configuration files, lines preceded by the symbol are comments, or not used by the operating system. Commenting those normal configurations disables the DHCP function so the physical interfaces don't request an IP address. I was getting intermittent network failures on my server with NIC Teaming until I commented them out.
The section for auto bond0 is pretty intuitive. You can see that we're telling the operating system that the bond0 interface has a static IP address, and then assigning the appropriate parameters. The last two lines are installing the bonding module and executing the software to create the NIC "Team" between the two physical interfaces, eth0 and eth1. Rebooting the system resulted in a stable configuration with a single active interface called bond0 with an IP address of As you can see from the ifconfig output in figure 2, I now have an active bond0 interface on my machine, which is my Ethernet trunk or NIC "Team.
The ifenslave function takes the MAC of the first physical card and applies it to all the interfaces, with only an IP address assigned to the bond0 interface. In my case, I used two Gigabit interfaces, effectively doubling the network capacity of my machine. Expand the Network adapters group and select the first adapter. Select the adapters to be included in the team from the list of installed adapters and then click Next. The wizard guides you through the configuration and setup of your team.
Ethernet setup : This tool allows you to configure the settings for your NVIDIA integrated network interfaces to best conform to your network configuration. Teaming : This tool allows you to combine all the NVIDIA Ethernet interfaces on your system to form a team, resulting in increased bandwidth and network fail-over redundancy. Its functionality is disabled by default. FirstPacket : This tool allows you to manage the traffic on your server and improve the performance of user-specified applications, such as networked games, Voice-over-IP VoIP , and other applications that are sensitive to network delay latency.
You can only configure your server to use one or the other. To Launch the Network Access Manager. Which switch do you have Larry? Ideally the switch should support LACP Plugging both into the same unmanaged switch should give you a 2x send, but only a 1x receive. Is this Intel or Broadcom teaming software? If this is the core switch on a network I would suggest replacing it with a mangaged switch. At least then you can load balance or increase bandwidth as you require.
You will not be able to do this with out the management at the switch end. Personally I would want at least the core network switch managed. With unmanaged switches it will be much harder to diagnose problematic NIC's that are causing network issues. With a managed switch you will also be able to create cirtual LANS, mange bandwidth traffic shaping. I am trying to get the switch replaced with a managed one, but it's out of my hands at the moment.
It won't necessarily increase bandwidth because the switch won't know what's going on, but it won't hurt anything either? You'll be fine. Even if you have both NICs active. The software will present a single MAC to the switch and the teaming software will manage the rest.
It actually simplifies your job having your switch unmanaged.
