Good afternoon,In a client must perform a link balancing between two locations. The interlinking between them, atualemente, is performed through radio (Radwin), however the client requests to be balanced (50% and 50%) the traffic with an optical fiber. The port is gigabit and Fibre is 100.
What would be the best possible way?
LACP L2?

Hi Felipe, it seems the configuration is correct.

Please provide the following outputs:

For both MLAG peers:

show configuration vsm
show sharing
show mlag peer
show vlan gerencia
show vlan isc

For HSU:

show sharing
show vlan gerencia

I see 2 peer connection failures for the ISC link through the Radwin device. Just want to confirm if that's incrementing through the "show mlag peer" output.

Hi Felipe, this feature allows traffic balancing + redundancy (if an MLAG port goes down).

When enabling the LAG in the HSU you have some hashing options which will help with traffic load balancing.

To confirm that you should use a traffic generator with random/multiple src/dst ips to easily see the counters incrementing for both MLAG ports.

You can use "show ports utilization" (you can press spacebar to alternate among "pps, bps or %" views)

Could you please share the Vlan and MLAG configuration and diagram with port numbers?

Hi Felipe,

Since LAG is enabled in the same source/destination switches, that would work if you had a second direct link between "Sede X440" and "Garagem X440".

I'm wondering about using MLAG. The Peers would be between both X440 in the right and a LAG from HSU to both MLAG peers.

Please take a look in the article below (consider the server in the diagram as the "HSU"):
