Cisco 2960 switch implements LACP link aggregation with Windows Server 2012

Microsoft's Windows Server 2012 has been able to support LACP link aggregation, due to the use of link aggregation can achieve line redundancy and bandwidth increase, here I used a Cisco 2960 to do a test for interested friends reference.

Experiment Preparation:

Cisco switch 29,601, install server 2012 servers, there are two Gigabit network card, network cable two root.

Steps:

1. Configuration of Cisco Switches

Create a new link aggregation channel port in privileged mode and add the port to the VLAN

sw2960 (config) #int Port-channel 6

sw2960 (config) #switchport access Valn 10

Configure the ports to join the link aggregation

Interface G0/1

Switchport Access VLAN 10

Channel-protocol LACP

Channel-group 6 Mode Active

Interface G0/2

Switchport Access VLAN 10

Channel-protocol LACP

Channel-group 6 Mode Active

2. Open Server Manager on server 2012 and click "Enable NIC teaming"

Select New Group on the task bar of the group

Define group name Select the network card to join the group, select the group mode as "LACP" on the other properties, and load balance mode is dynamic.

After completing the above options, select the application to see if the adapter is active in this column.

3, if the link aggregation success, in the state of the group can be seen speed has reached 2G.

See if the aggregation was successful on the switch through the show etherchannel Summary command.

The displayed port number is followed by a "(p)" Description of the link aggregation succeeds, and if it is otherwise, it may not be configured to cause, you can use the default interface ran G0/1,G0/2. The two ports are initialized and then configured.

Summary:

Link aggregation is better supported for network reliability, and is suitable for use in building virtualized environments where high availability of virtual servers has been improved.
