6408 LACP channel question

[dclee]

Looking to use 2 6408 gbic cards in a 6513 in a port channel config to another 6513.

Questions

if 6408's are in slot 1 and 2, can I use 1/1 and 1/2 + 2/1, 2/2 in a LACP channel to the other 6513 with same setup ?

If so do I have to worry about any oversubscription issues ? Will I be able to get the full 4Gbps using this port channel ?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

Dave

You should be able to configure etherchanneling on those modules and you won't encounter oversubscription as the bus connection is 32 Gbps which is > 8 Gbps.

Yes .You can use  ports from different module for LACP.In LACP limit of maximum of eight LAN ports bundling but no requirement that the LAN ports be physically contiguous or on the same module.

Yes you will be able to get 4Gbps but it depneds on how your load balancing algo is working.That can cause one link to be overutilized then other.Traffic will not be balanced on all but yes will be distribute based on algorithm.
