Example for Configuring Interoperation Between CE Series Switches and a Server Using Broadcom Network Adapters (IEEE 802.3ad Mode)

Example for Configuring Interoperation Between CE Series Switches and a Server Using Broadcom Network Adapters (IEEE 802.3ad Mode)

Applicable Products and Versions

This example applies to CE series switches running V200R005C10 or later versions.

Networking Requirements

In Figure 2-8, a server uses Broadcom network adapters and needs to connect to CE series switches in link aggregation mode to implement load balancing.

Figure 2-8 Interoperation between CE series switches and a server

Configuration Roadmap

The network adapter group can be configured to work in load balancing mode to meet the preceding requirement. The configuration roadmap is as follows:
  1. Configure the two CE series switches to establish an M-LAG, create Eth-Trunk interfaces, and configure the Eth-Trunk interfaces to work in static LACP mode.
  2. Set the network adapter group type to dynamic link aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad) to improve link reliability, increase the interface bandwidth, and implement link load balancing.

Procedure

  1. Configure CE series switches to establish an M-LAG and create Eth-Trunk interfaces for connecting to the server.

  2. Configure a network adapter group on the server.
    1. Obtain and install the Broadcom network adapter management software, that is, Broadcom Advanced Control Suite.
    2. Open the software and select TEAM VIEW from the Filter drop-down list.

    3. Right-click Teams and choose Create Team.

    4. Click Next.

    5. Enter the name for the network adapter group, for example, Team 1, and then click Next.

    6. Select 802.3ad Link Aggregation using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and click Next.

    7. Select network adapters to be bonded, click Add to add the network adapters to the group, and then click Next.

    8. Select Skip Manage VLAN and click Next.

    9. Select Commit changes to system and Exit the wizard and click Finish. A network adapter group is created.

    10. Choose Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center. Click Change adapter settings. The Network Connections page is displayed. Right-click the created network adapter group Team 1 and choose Properties. In the displayed window, click the Network tab page and double-click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) to configure the IP address of the network adapter group.
    11. In the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties window, select an IP address obtaining mode and click OK.

Verifying the Configuration

  1. Run the display eth-trunk [ trunk-id ] command in any view to check the Eth-Trunk status. Check whether the Eth-Trunk status is normal based on key information in Table 2-15.
    <SwitchA> display eth-trunk 1
    Eth-Trunk1's state information is:

    Normal State

    Working Mode

    Static.

    Operating Status

    up: The Eth-Trunk is Up.

    Number Of Up Ports In Trunk

    Number of Up member interfaces in the Eth-Trunk. If the value is the same as the number of member interfaces, the Eth-Trunk is normal.

  2. Ping the gateway address on the server. The ping is successful.

  3. Check properties of the created network adapter group Team 1. On the Network Connections page, right-click the created network adapter group Team 1 and choose Properties. In the displayed window, click Config and select the Settings tab page. Check the network adapter group status based on the information in Table 2-16.
