Hey guys
I have an Cisco Core Switch (C3850) with IPBase firmware and NETGATE/pfSense firewall.
-on the firewall I have 4 copper ethernet ports
-on two of them I have dedicated two 1 GBit provider wan links
Now I created a LAGG_LACP on the NETGATE and a LACP portchannel on the Cisco with 2 copper ports (via GBic). I configure both ports, for testing purposes, to an access port and tried a lot of load-balancing modes (src-mac, src-ip) and so on - but in the end the result is the same:
LACP with src-ip = Only one of my two test devices can ping the firewall and go to the internet (Other notebook get an timeout) but on the machine where I have internet, the connection is not really stable
LACP with dist-ip = Both devices can ping the internet, but also not really stable and and only ping is working but no tcp traffic
What I want:
Have two Gbic ports in a LAGG_LACP to fully utilize the 2 WAN ports (not 2 GBit maximum speed, but with one Gigabit link I can't use both 1 GBit WAN links completely).
Maybe I did something wrong or I'm completey wrong with my idea and LACP is only good to improve the connection speed between two devices?
Thanks for help and good ideas! :)
Edit 2:
Got it... **bleep**ty VMware Workstation. Some trouble with duplicate Mac addresses.
The LACP is up and running but I can't verify my configured load-balance mode (src-ip). When I have one download I have 12 MB/s (LAN 100 MBit and WAN 1 GBit) and with two computers I have 2x 6 MB/s.
