Etherchannel, two links, but no increase in bandwidth

Hi,
We have a problem with an EtherChannel that we have between us and a content provider.
We have two 1Gb links in the Etherchannel but we can't seem to get the total bandwidth above 1Gb. 
I have created the same situation in a lab environment.  Same thing  there, I cannot get the total bandwidth to more than 10Mbps ( I  statically set the speed of the physical interfaces/members to 10Mbps  individually).
Does anyone have any idea if there is some configuration parameter that  we missed that is limiting the total bandwith of the Etherchannel to the  same as the speed of the individual interfaces, rather than the  combined bandwidth?  A big benefit about implementing an Etherchannel is  the increased bandwidth, and we kind of miss out on that.
Below is some of the configuration of the lab.
Two Catalyst 3560 running 12.2(50)SE3
Switch A, and respectively on B
interface Port-channel47
  switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,28,900
  switchport mode trunk
interface GigabitEthernet0/15
  description eth-cha1
  switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,28,900
  switchport mode trunk
  speed 10
  channel-group 47 mode on
interface GigabitEthernet0/16
  description eth-cha2
  switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,28,900
  switchport mode trunk
  speed 10
  channel-group 47 mode on
port-channel load-balance src-dst-ip
I have tried different load balancing parameters, and different channel-group x modes but it does not make a difference.
Thanks

Update,
We have not been able to solve the issue as of yet.
We have done some serious testing the last few days to solve the problem.  We have noticed that in an etherchannel where we use trunks we may increase the bandwidth by changing it to
port-channel load-balancing src-dst-mac
However, on the link that we have to the content provider we use a routed interface for the port-channel and on this connection we cannot go above the total of 1Gb (limit for one of the physical links).
The config is:
interface Port-channel10
no switchport
ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x
ip pim sparse-mode
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
no switchport
no ip address
no cdp enable
channel-group 10 mode active
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/2
no switchport
no ip address
no cdp enable
channel-group 10 mode active
port-channel load-balance src-dst-mac
Any ideas to what is going wrong?
Greatful for any tips / ideas

As the other posters have already noted, single flows only use one link of an Etherchannel.  However, even when using multiple flows and even the "ideal" hashing algorithm, it's also possible two flows will hash to the same link.  I.e. it's not a given that multiple flows will use all the possible aggregate bandwidth.
On dual Etherchannel, for example, since the odds are 50/50 which link a flow will hash to, I assume my effective aggregate bandwidth at about 150% not 200%.  For three link Etherchannel, I expect about 200% not 300%, etc.  (NB: also note for odd [and non-binary?] number of links, hashing isn't even across links.)

  • Increasing Wireless Bandwidth

    Hi,
    I'm looking to combine three 54Mbps Wireless radios to increase wireless bandwidth, load balancing and redundancy. My intention was to create an etherchannel using the connected Cisco 2960 switch ports but I have read this is not a recommended solution. Could anyone provide details of a recommended solution and the required devices? Thanks in advance for your help.

    If you're in a L2 scenario with lots of VLANs, then you can setup your three bridges and push different VLANs over different bridges - it's crude but it works. Obviously you'll need to run spanning tree!
    If you want to do this properly though, you should be using 2.4GHz & 5GHz, not just one or the other.
    Failing that, you could use other more dedicated equipment like Laser Links, or go to a manufacturer that specialises in high-capacity / high-reliability bridge links, as this kind of thing isn't really on Cisco's current portfolio.

  • How to concatenate two linked lists?

    Can anyone help me with this? I'm stuck. I'm trying to concatenate two linked lists. I've created a method that adds a node to the beginning of a list and a second method to concatenate. My first method works, but not my second...
    First method:
    public static Node insertFirst(Node head, Node node){
              Node newNode = new Node();          // declare and initialize newNode.
              newNode = node;                    // store the new item in the new node.
              newNode.link = head;               // newNode.link points to the head.
              head = newNode;                    // update head to be newNode.
              return head;
         }Here is where I have my problem:
    public static Node mergeTwoLists(Node a, Node b){
              Node heada = a;
              Node headb = b;
              if(heada == null)
                   return headb;                    //if heada is null then returns list headb.
              else if(headb == null)
                   return heada;                    //if headb is null then returns list heada.
              else if(heada == null && headb == null)     //if both lists are null, returns null.
                   return null;
              else if(heada.link == null){     //only one element in heada.
                   headb = insertFirst(b, a);               // inserts the element in heada into headb.
                   return headb;
              }//end else if(heada.link == null).
              else if(headb.link == null){     //only one element in headb.
                   heada = insertFirst(a,b);               // inserts the element in headb into heada.
                   else {
                        mergeTwoLists(heada.link, headb);
                        return heada;
                   }//end else
              return heada;
              }//end mergeTwoLists method.I think in this method I'm only adding the nodes if there is only one node in one of the lists. But if there are more than one element in a list...I'm confused as to how to code the last else statement that contains the recursive call.
    Can someone help?
    Thanks
    aiki985

    Can't you just point the tail of A to the head of B?
    I don't think I'd do this recursivly at all. Use a
    while look to find the last node in A and then link
    it to whatever the first element in B is.
    while(A.next != null){
    A = A.next;
    A.next = B;
    Java that up a bit and check for nulls and it should
    work.o.k. thanks...let me try that. It does seem awkward recursively...

    In general, you are correct - but also your server does need to be properly configured (and those errors above lead me to think it may not be) to serve the file types that your uploading - but it could be something else entirely. Can you zip up your composition folder, upload it to your Creative Cloud files, set it to share, and then post a link here so I can download it? If you'd rather not share it publicly, can you PM me with a link to your composition files?

    Hi,
    I presume that the new configuration is missing some parts as you seem to have the IP address of the external interface configured staticly on the interface but you have not configured any default route on the firewall? (Original configuration got default route dynamically and added it to the routing table)
    You also mentioned that you were able to connect to the Internet which would indicate there was indeed a default route with the new configuration?
    I am a bit confused about the host mask on the external interface (/32 - 255.255.255.255) ? Does the ASA really let you configure a host address on the interface? It can't lead anywhere as there is no next hop with a host mask. I think the ASA even blocks using a /31 mask link network which works with Cisco Routers.
    I guess I would go through the basic troubleshooting step when the new configuration is in use
    Check logs for any blocked connections or error messages
    Check the Static PAT (Port Forward) configuration with the "packet-tracer" command
    Capture traffic on the ASAs external interface (with the ASA itself) and confirm that you are seeing the TCP SYN of any connection attempts, or perhaps capture ICMP

    I have not been able to sync my mail with iCloud on my MacBookPro (Lion OS).  Everything else has been syncing fine for the past two months, but when I go to System Pref/iCloud/and try to check Mail, it asks me to choose an iCloud email address. When I put in my regular @me.com email, it says that address already exists (of course it does - it's mine!) and wants me to choose another one.  But I want it to sync with my stuff.  What can I do?  I haven't been able to find help anywhere online...  Thanks!

    You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

  • How can I make a new genius mix? Apple has made two automatically, but I would like one based on other genres within my iTunes library. I have tried updating my genius mixes to no avail.

    How can I make a new genius mix? I do not want to make a genius playlist. Genius has already created two mixes but I would like another based on other genres within my extensive music library. I have tried updating Genius from Store>Update Genius but to no avail. Thank you!

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

    On the iPad open Settings/iCloud and delete the account using the button at the bottom. Once deleted log in using the other account. For iTunes Stores use Settings/iTunes & Apps Stores, tapp on the Apple ID at the top then sign out. Once done sign in using the other account.

  • I added a calendar event to repeat every two weeks, but it repeats every day.

    I've added a calendar event to repeat every two weeks, but it repeats every day.  The original event was set up for all Day on Wednesday, Nov 5.  Setting up for a single  day worked fine.  Add the repeat option and select every two weeks...and it shows up every day until the end date.  I've re-booted the phone and tried other start dates.  Same result.  This is in the base iPhone calendar.  No other calendars have been installed.   iPhone 6  iOS 8.0.2.  Any suggestions?

    Found a workaround:
    Just change each attribute 1 item at a time.
    Create the calendar entry for one day only with no other settings.
    Go back in and edit it so that its every two weeks, then leave and confirm this worked.
    Open calendar back up and add in the end date.
    That's the only way I could get it to accept those settings, one attribute at a time.
    Misc. bug I suppose.  I miss the "It just works" days.  Living in silicon valley, the QA engineering buds I have at apple go on rants about the undisclosed/undiscovered but known bugs in ios every time we're having drinks.  From what I hear, internally IOS8/8.1 weren't ready for prime time push just yet.
