Packet loss with LACP 3560E

netalia99
Level 1
Level 1

I have a cisco 3560E switch setup with LACP, when using LACP i receive alot of packet loss / output drops

When a ping from the server behind LACP:

--- google.com ping statistics ---

44 packets transmitted, 39 received, 11% packet loss, time 42990ms

any idea what would cause this packet loss with lacp?

some output from the switch:

  Make sure all 4 ports in the port channel are up and active and none of the physical interfaces are showing errors. on either the switch side or the server side.  You are only showing 2 ports in the port channel when there are actually 4 ports configured , verify config and get rid of the other 2 ports if you are not using 4 ports in your setup .

Members in this channel: Gi0/12 Gi0/16 Gi0/17 Gi0/18

All ports and the portchannel are all up:

Port      Name               Status       Vlan       Duplex  Speed Type

Gi0/12    LACP-eth2          connected    trunk      a-full a-1000 10/100/1000BaseTX

Gi0/16    LACP-eth1          connected    trunk      a-full a-1000 10/100/1000BaseTX

Gi0/17    LACP-eth3          connected    trunk      a-full a-1000 10/100/1000BaseTX

Gi0/18    LACP-eth0          connected    trunk      a-full a-1000 10/100/1000BaseTX

Po12      LACP-PORT          connected    trunk      a-full a-1000

sorry didn't include the last two ports, I didn't want to make my post to long here is the configuration for the last two also:

!

interface GigabitEthernet0/17

description LACP-eth3

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2

switchport mode trunk

channel-group 12 mode active

!

interface GigabitEthernet0/18

description LACP-eth0

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2

switchport mode trunk

channel-group 12 mode active

!

i also have this line in the config:

port-channel load-balance src-dst-ip

Not sure if that is correct..

#sh etherchannel 12 sum

Group  Port-channel  Protocol    Ports

------+-------------+-----------+-----------------------------------------------

12     Po12(SU)        LACP      Gi0/12(P)   Gi0/16(P)   Gi0/17(P)  

                                 Gi0/18(P)  

appreciate any help here, let me know if you need any more info!
