Broadcom NIC Teaming w/ 802.3ad and Dell Powerconnect 2824
- by Carltoncl
We have a Poweredge R210 running WS2K8R2. The server has two Broadcom 5716C NICs running Broadcom BASP. I can team the NICs using the 802.3ad protocol on the server end no problem. I have no VLAN.
Now I go to the 2824 switch (default settings all round) running in managed mode and create a LAG with ports g1 and g2. As soon as I add these ports, I lose the ability to send traffic to or from the server.
I am much more of a server guy than a networking guy, what am I doing wrong here?
Server Static IP Address: 10.10.61.15
Network mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.10.61.51
The 2824 switch has an IP address of 10.10.61.51 and in turn has its gateway as our firewall server running ISA Server at 10.10.61.50.
