Problem with Procurve 2810 and Linux bonding NICs

[Davide Depaoli_3]

Hello,
my customer has an environemnt as the attached picture, two server are linux with 2 NICs configured as failover bonding.

The problem is that when both server are connected to the same switch, all is working, but when one server is connected on switch A and the other server is on the switch B the network is not working between two servers.

Follow the switches configuration

Is anything to check on the switches or on the NICs configuration ?

Thanks in advance

It sounds odd. To clarify some things:
* You say, when both servers is connected to the same switch, all works. Which ports is both the servers connected to, when using eg. switch A?

* Is your servers configured to receive and send VLAN-tagged traffic?

Customer says:

- Ports are tagged
- these servers must to use multiple VLANs
- done some tests with port 24 tagged and untagged

- the servers are connected to port 1 and port 3 of the switches.


thanks
