Hi, I am trying to configure LAG between SG-250-08 and C3560CG-8PC with the following topography:
+----+ +----+ |SRV1| |SRV2| +--+-+ +-+--+ GbE | | GbE | | +--+-------+--+ | C3560CG-8PC | +-----+-+-----+ | | 2xGbE LAG | | +-----+-+-----+ | SG-250-08 | +--+--------+-+ GbE | | GbE | | +--+-+ +--+-+ | PC1| |PC2 | +----+ +----+
The Cisco devices are connected with two cat6e cables, both devices have LAG configured and enabled, so the resulting channel should have a total bandwidth of 2Gbit.
I am testing the bandwidth between the following pairs using iperf: PC1 <=> SRV1 and PC2 <=> SRV2
According to my understanding of LAG, I should be able to see 1Gb between each pair.
Instead I see both pairs sharing 1Gb (500/500 Mbit roughly).
Here's the config for C3560CG-8PC
interface GigabitEthernet0/1 switchport mode access switchport access vlan 1 channel-group 1 mode active ! interface GigabitEthernet0/2 switchport mode access switchport access vlan 1 channel-group 1 mode active ! interface Port-Channel1 description UPLINK port-channel load-balance src-dst-mac

I tried with LACP enabled/disabled, same result.
When testing I see the LEDs on both ports blinking.
I just don't understand what I am doing wrong.

Found my problem - it's called too many open consoles and working after midnight. Instead of testing PC1-SRV1 and PC2-SRV2 I was testing from the same PC1 against SRV1 and SRV2 from two different consoles which lead to false measurements.

Nothing wrong here in the config ? But Load sharing based on the src-dest mac algorithm - you can find here:

Good post and explained here :
https://community.cisco.com/t5/switching/lag-speed-is-not-as-expected/m-p/2689038
Anothere test you can do is, what is the speeds SRV1 to SERV2 ? what is the speeds to PC1 to PC2 ?
