Hi,

What kind of servers are they? What OS are they running? How big are the files you are testing with? What switch firmware version are you on? The file transfer is only going across one nic and not both correct?

the switch firmware il latest

for test use two pc with windows 7 and nic intel i210 thas support sla aggregation and lacp

If enable lacp and use switch cisco copy iso file at 230MB/s on lacp mode

if enable lacp with dell the pc not see second pc....see only gateway if select on nic sla mode (link static aggregation) the system working but

when copy file the system use only one nic. If disconnect this nic the fault tollerance working because second nic continum copy iso file without brack.

I read the sla mode use only one network if destination is the same Recipient. Use second nic only change recipient pc.

Only lacp full aggregate nic and use total speed for trasfer file to another pc in single session. but DELL not support lacp .
