Avamar + PortChannel clean-up
Hey everyone -
We have an Avamar solution (behind DELL PowerEdge R710) with a couple of nodes. Graphic Server-Manamgent.jpg GUI attached -
Connecting to the main chassis via ssh, I can see two (2) "bonds" - one bond for public network, other for private network. However, both are terminating onto a Cisco switch as one (1) LACP aggregate (Po4). Not seeing any LACP errors from the switch, but getting plenty of retransmissions when analysing via Wireshark.
Question to the form - without site history, am guessing there should be two (2) LACP aggregates - one for public backups and another for a "future" Avamar solution in case the company would want to daisy-chain "at some later date" - but would it be as simple as bonding the "inside" aggregate to a separate, quiet network?
We're cheap-skates and let our maintenance lapse - mostly looking for a forum chin-wag on this, all responses - regardless of technical merit - welcomed!
Regards,
Christopher

Avamar only supports active/passive bonding mode. So LACP is not suitable here.
