LAG Loadbalancing

[jpmlinssen]

Dear All,

hope you can advice me, i have tthe following issue/challenge :

I have a SG200-50 which has (max?) 4 LAG groups, 3 of the LAG's contain 4 network ports which are connected to 1 server so a server 2012 lacp team of 4 gbit at the current time it's working fine on MAC Loadbalancing. but I need more LAG groups or another solution as i want to add another server with 4 network ports which also be teamed.

If i create 2 lag groups of each 8 ports with IP/MAC LoadBalancing instead of MAC Loadbalancing, would this allow me to have 2 servers with 4 network ports each to still be loadbalanced? or is there a way to add more LAG groups to the SG200-50 ?

I am new at this area of expertise so any advice is welcome!!!

Kind regards

Jack

Hi Jack, there is no manipulation for the number of lags or the number of members of a LAG. If you'd like more LAGs you may buy a SX300 switch which supports 8 lags or a SX500 which supports 32 lags.
