Got a quick question .. been fighting with this for about a week on an off. I think have the answer but would like to make sure i'm not missing something else.
I know ive read the preferred method on ISCI is to use 1 interface per connection
---create 4 interfaces on your server/freenas, give each a non overlapping IP range
Not to create a single 4 port LAGG and expect 4G of throughput. you get a single thread across a single 1G link.
what about creating the 4 port LAGG trunk and utilizing 4+ vlans within that link? Cant seem to find anyone that has documented reasons for or against it. Seems like it would work, in the office we have done similar, of course we are using them on much more than a host to host and normal LAGG works when you have more than 4 hosts using them.
What i think i found is when using windows server it does not support MPIO over vlans and thats been the issue iver been running into.
Will have to see if i can get my ESXI box up to do some further testing on something other than windows too :)
Thoughts?
