Re: WAN Emulation at Distributed Switch
I inadvertently came across this discussion and although it's old thought I should comment as WAN Emulation technology has changed since 2013. You've already seen from your own experiences that there...

Re: Can't Remove Host from dvSwitch
After spending the last two hours trying to gracefully remove a host from a vDS this is what did the trick.

What is your goal or requirement when using a LAG with an ESXi host?
View ArticleRe: Link Aggregation - Alcatel Lucent
Just to share the load between all the virtual servers between the 4 lines.
View ArticleRe: Link Aggregation - Alcatel Lucent
Are you aware that you do not need to use a LAG to achieve this goal? The default algorithm of "route based on virtual port ID" will achieve this naturally just by having multiple single uplinks for a...
View ArticleRe: Link Aggregation - Alcatel Lucent
My understanding is that "route based on virtual port ID" can only send data through one uplink at a time. And "Route based by IP hash' can send data through multiple uplinks at a time.

Yes, a virtual NIC can only send traffic through one physical uplink at a time, but all VMs are spread across all links. By the way, even with a LAG and route based on IP hash *still* may not achieve a...

Right, 1 computer to the server is limited to 1 NIC. However, if I set Route based IP hash then say 100 clients could be using line 1 and 100 different clients could be using line 2. Correct?
View ArticleRe: Link Aggregation - Alcatel Lucent
It's a possibility, yes, and a LAG would help here if you have multiple concurrent connections to different hosts. But it's important to point out if Server A is talking to Clients A, B, and C, each of...

Yes, that is why I want LAG setup and working on Route based IP hash because we are a school district so there are several different hosts connecting to the same server at any given time.

Looks like it needs to be a "Distributed switch" the esxi host, I have it set up as a standard switch; however, I don't have the option to create a "Distributed switch" I think it is because we are...

If you're using ESXi free you can use static LAGs. If you have ESXi with an enterprise plus license (or some other license) which entitles you to use a vDS, you can use LACP but this requires vCenter...

Re: Link Aggregation - Alcatel Lucent
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1001938 You just put the physical switch in static mode, then change the vSS's uplinks to Route Based on IP Hash. If your management vmkernel port is sharing this same...

Thanks! That works for me as well, I did need to reboot the host to get it effected, though.
