Hello,

I'm trying to setting up a LAG of 2 x 1GB between a Windows 2012 server on VMware 5.5 and a SG300-52 switch, but without any success till now.

The SG300 is configured as follow :


config-file-header
SG300-52
v1.4.0.88 / R800_NIK_1_4_194_194
CLI v1.0
set system mode router

file SSD indicator encrypted
@
ssd-control-start
ssd config
ssd file passphrase control unrestricted
no ssd file integrity control
ssd-control-end cb0a3fdb1f3a1af4e4430033719968c0

  • GE26 & GE27 have been added in LAG2
  • VLAN 1UP, 10T, 20T, 30T & 40T have joined the LAG
  • In VMware, a vswitch has been created, using the 2 NIC connected to the LAG; and a Virtual Machine Port Group has been created for each VLAN member of the LAG
  • In Windows 2012, the 4 Network adapters have been added (1 for each VLAN), but they cannot ping their gayeway
  • However, the interfaces receives correctly thei IP addresses (and options) from the DHCP server, via the DHCP relay of the SG300

 

I also following the configuration described in this link (http://it-erate.com/setting-lag-vmware-esxi-5-cisco-sg300/) but without any success.

 

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Please make sure the load balance mode in VMware is Route based on IP Hash.

The default value is virtual switch port ID, which cannot work together with port-channel in upstream switch, as explained in: 

http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/virtual_networking_concepts.pdf

"Note: If you select either srcPortID or srcMAC hash, you should
not configure the physical switch ports as any type of team or
bonded group."
