I have configured LACP on one of my hosts connected to a Cisco SG300-20 (firmware 1.4.1.3) in L3 mode. Everything on both sides looks good. However, the virtual machine is not able to ping the default gateway on the SG300 nor is the SG300 able to ping the IP of the virtual machine. I know the IP configuration of the virtual machine is good because when I move it to a standard port group on the same VLAN all is good.

I'm not sure what do next. I don't have any other device capable of LACP to test the switch.
