LACP

[hs08]

Hello,

My server connected into the switch with 10Gb speed and my NAS have 2 port 1Gb connected into the switch by using LACP.

When i do copy from VM to the NAS, the traffic can't reach more than 1Gb and seem only one link on LACP utilize the traffic.

How we can use both link to improve the speed if there only have one source accessing the NAS?

You use ports as part of the hash attributes for single hosts, but many devices don't support that option.

When you port channel 1 Gbps interfaces your speed cannot exceed 1 GBps speed. You're adding lanes to a freeway not increasing the speed. SO even if you have 5 ports bundled you will only get 1GB over any one of the ports at any given time.
