Hi all,
We have 4 AIX server (5.1ML3). Each of them are set to use etherchannel in active-backup mode, in 100_full_duplex.
With such config, we shouldn't have to have 802.3ad compatible switches (wich we have : Nortel Baystack), as one card is active at a time.
Problem is it seems network communications act as if it was an active-active mode. When we plug cables on two different switches for example, it's slower than on the same switch.
Anybody has an idea of what's wrong here ?
Thanks
