Dear community,
I've setup Link Aggregation to the best of my knowledge, but I have some questions I'm hoping you guru's can answer.
Main problem/concern: Even though I should be having the equivalent of ~3Gbit/s network connection towards my LAN, I can only squeeze out exactly 1Gbit/s.
Please see the attached pictures of my network config in ESXi.
Questions:
1) According my screendumps, does everything look ok?
2) Do I need to tick the boxes in the "NIC Teaming" tab on the Virtual Machine Port Group also(see picture 4 below), or is this inherited from the vSwitch?
3) Using a VM with VMXNET3 adapter, I can only get 1Gbit/s throughput when testing, is this normal?
System info:
ESXi 5.1.0, 914609
Supermicro X9-SCM-F
16GB ECC
Xeon E1220
2 x Onboard NIC's
1 x Dual Port PCIe x4 NIC
1 x NIC for mgmt
3 x NIC for VM's (Cabled up to my Cisco SG-200 switch and setup as LAG(without LACP)
Any help would be much appreciated.
Best regards
Jim
