Hi Expert,

I am using two switch with different version and hardware but all are extremeware product.

I am facing problem for LAG port congestion but utilization is below 50% . there is no system log .

How can it be solve, please suggest.

LAG between BD-8810 <> Alpine3804

BD-8810(DHK2SIBD1):-

dont know how to check congestion , i think it does not support.

Hello msisir

I noticed that on the 8800 you have the algorithm set to be L2. That only looks at MAC to do the hash for which link the traffic flows. try using L3_L4 to get a better mix and a finer hash distribution

Let us know if that helps
