EAPS and Load Sharing

[Mrxlazuardin]

Hi,

I want to double my ring bandwidth between one BD8800 and two X460. Which one is the best, using EAPS over load sharing ports (ex. LACP) or use multiple domain rings with different ways (clockwise and conter clockwise)?

Best regards,

License is not required Try both and save the best one

Hi Paul,

In your opinion, which one is better for spreading, L3_L4, CRC16 or CRC32? Any license required for custom CRC16 and CRC32 sharing hash, especially for X460?

Best regards,

Hey Lazuardi

I if you just use LACP the algorithm is L2. The reason to use L3-L4 is to get more info to hash off of which should get a better spread of traffic. If you use CRC32 verses CRC16 the that should help as well.

Thanks

Hey Lazar do the default is crc16 I believe. Changing it to crc32 may help but I would recommend testing it if you can. P

Hi Paul,

Any specific reason of selecting L3_L4 or CRC algorithms? What is default default hashing algorithm for LACP?
