NIC teaming question TLB - SWL

[KarloChacon]

Hi guys


What NIC teaming Can I use to have Rx/Tx balancing and using 2 switches

I know SLB from HP provides me Rx/Tx but only with one Switch, I need it with using 2 switches

in case is needed they are Dl360 g5 - W2003 - NCU 9.1

Regards

hi again

I was doing more research and I found this
"Switch assisted Dual Channel Load Balancing"

but it only supported for very old NCU version and it's basically retired

what do I do now If I load balancing Rx/Tx with 2 switches

any idea it's appreciated

Dual channel teams are no longer supported since last INP Version, NCU 8.80

But I have some ideas:

- Using stacking capable switches will work

- There is a team mode called Channel-Based TLB, a 4 portchannel will get 4GB tx and 2GB rx, using 1 etherchannel going to each switch.


Channel based is not very well mode of team, it works only with LACP and auto teaming mode

rgds,

Basically using this team you will get 1 etherchannel tx/rx and the other one rx only, thats the difference with SLB DualChannel.
