Switch: EX4300
My goal is to team 2xGigE interfaces to be able to get 2Gbps peak throughput between Switch and Linux server.
Configurations is straight-forward:
ge-0/0/1 {
ether-options {
802.3ad ae1;
}
}
ge-0/0/21 {
ether-options {
802.3ad ae1;
}
}
...
ae1 {
aggregated-ether-options {
lacp {
periodic fast;
}
}
unit 0 {
family ethernet-switching {
vlan {
members VLAN1039;
}
}
}
}
My challenge: I want to make it possible for Linux machine to periodically run without LACP and still have connectivity.
To clarify, when I only configure LAG on Juniper (no LACP on Server), everything works.
Once I enable LACP on Juniper (but not on Linux server) then ae1 interface goes down *until I enable LACP on Linux server*.
My goal is to be able to boot Linux server without LACP and still have connectivity (i.e. make LACP "optional").
Appreciate any suggestions.
