etherchannel between 2 pair of APs

[noobieee7]

Hi,

Any one configured etherchannel at a single switch across 2 pairs of AP with 5Ghz as backhaul? Does it work?

Topology

switch            ----- AP1 --------- backhaul 5Ghz ---- AP3 ---- switch 2

(etherchannel) ------AP2 --------- backhaul 5Ghz ---- AP4 ---- (etherchannel)

It can be done you just have to look at spanning tree. You might have to make one link priority for a vlan and load balance the vlans between the two.

Hi Scott,

I only have a vlan that will be transversing pass the links. So based on therotical calculation, I should be getting 600Mb throughput for the backhaul?

Theoretically but throughput also depends on your wireless backhaul since packets can only go over one bridge link. Will you get 300mbps connection. Maybe or maybe not. Wireless is half duplex so really 150mbps actual throughput per wireless link so theoretical 300mbps.

Hi Scott,

When they say 150Mb per spatial stream, it really means 150Mb simplex or is it duplex, meaning 75Mb per direction?
