Hi all,
I am trying to configure LAG on four G/e ports on the Cisco SG300 52 switch which are connected to the four G/e NICs on a Dell R710 server. The four switch ports are thus edgeports. Without LAG configuration, the individual ports would forward traffic fine. But when I configure LAG, the ports would not forward any traffic.
A look at the four LAG member ports STP interfaces status show edge port Disabled, STP enabled, Port role Disabled, Port State N/A, Designated Bridge ID N/A, Designated Port ID N/A, Designated Cost N/A and Forward transitions N/A.
The ports STP interfaces status show the ports are not forwarding. I know that etherchannel cannot be configured on edgeports but I thought I could configure LAG which is a new technology, on edgeports. There is no mention on the SG300 series datasheet that LAG should be configured only on trunks.
I would really appreciate if anyone could help me set up LAG for my conection between the switch and the Dell server. LAG would be an important feature as it would allow me to balance the load on all four NICs on my Dell Server and also dynamic LAG would make sure that if one of the NICs go down, then the load will be balanced amongst the other three NICs.
Thank you.
