How to configure ether channel

Hi mates,
As far as I know, when you configure ether channel (PAGP/LACP) on two ports, they act like one port. but in reality packets are not sent through both ports. Only one of the ports is used until the actual link fails.
Question is:
I have two switches, each has two SFP ports, I want to connect two switches each other.
how can I make ether channel always use both ports when sending/transmitting packets? I remember it is possible.
thanks for helping :)

HI
i hope this link will help u .

when u create ether-channel it will automatically load balance based on source/destiantion mac address or source/destiantion ip address.
Thanks

    pool SMTP_POOL maytlsserver maysaslserver saslswitchchannel tcp_auth loopcheck \

    tcp-daemonIf the relay SMTP server only has an A record then use "nomx" instead of "mx".

    The "multiple" keyword instead of "single_sys" helps performance by increasing the number of emails per connection when sending to a relay system.

  • How to configure physical channel using DAQmx block(remote PXI6733)

    I am trying to run the example in labview that use DAQmx. But I find I can't find the physical channel by browser or using DAQ assisstant. It reports "No supported device found". My PXI6733 is on a controller and communicate with host computer by TCP/IP. Could I use DAQmx in such environment? What I should do to find the physical channel?

    Braver,
    The NI 6733 is not yet support by NI-DAQmx. Thus, you will need to use Traditional NI-DAQ to program this device until this support is added. I would suggest that you examine the following Traditional NI-DAQ examples:
    Examples >> Hardware Input and Output >> Traditional DAQ >> Analog Output
    Good luck with your application.

  • How to configure channels with Spring-Flex?

    Newbie here trying to get my first Flex/BlazeDS app up and running.   I'm using the Spring-Flex integration and believe I have properly configured my servet and remoting destinations.  My only remaining questions relate to how to configure the channels.
    The use of the Spring/BlazeDS integration means that I do not have to have a remoting-config.xml file anymore.  But it the documentation is unclear as to whether I need to configure my channels within a services-config.xml file still.
    If I do need a services-config.xml file (and I think I do), how does one get away without hard coding the server URL?  I've seen samples on the web like:
    url="https://\{server.name\}:\{server.port\}/flex2gateway/cfamfsecure"
    But I don't get when/where/what does the dynamic substituion?  They almost look like Maven or Spring properties, but they can't be.  Is this just something that has to be manually changed after installation?
    Finally, I really don't like the idea of compiling the Flex client against a server-side configuration file as I have seen suggested on the web.  How would one go about have the Flex client discover - or otherwise figure out what it needs to do dynamically?
    Sorry for the multi-question post....thanks for any help!

    You could load that info from an XML file as described below. I took this from the doc.
    To further externalize configuration, you can pass the endpoint URL value to the client at runtime. One way to do this is by reading a configuration file with an HTTPService component at application startup. The configuration file includes the information to programmatically create a channel set at runtime. You can use E4X syntax to get information from the configuration file.
    The following MXML application shows this configuration file technique:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
        applicationComplete="configSrv.send()">
        <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[

        import mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel;
        import mx.messaging.ChannelSet;
        import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
        private var channelSet:ChannelSet;
        private function configResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
            var xml:XML = event.result as XML;
            var amfEndpoint:String = "" + xml..channel.(@id=="amf").@endpoint;
            if (amfEndpoint == "")
                Alert.show("amf channel not configured", "Error");
            else
                channelSet = new ChannelSet();
                var channel:AMFChannel = new AMFChannel("my-amf", amfEndpoint);
                channelSet.addChannel(channel);
                ro.channelSet = channelSet;
                ro.getProducts();
        ]]>

  • Ether channel between fiber optic ports any difference?

    I will appreciate any help about the below questions.
    there are two catalyst 4506 multilayer switches, Two SFP modules are installed on each switches for uplink purpose. (1000 Base SX fiber optic Gigabit ethernet SFP modules)
    I want to connect two switches each other. Question is;
    1.Can I bundle these two gigabit ports (ether channel) and get Two gigabit connection between switches ?
    2.If I can do it, what happens if one of the lines fails?
    I know I can configure ether channel between copper fast ethernet ports but I am not sure If I can benefit same feature for 1000 base SX fiber optic ports.
    Thank you very much for helping :)

    Hi Friend,
    You can run a command "sh port capabilities " and that will how that whether that ports are capable of etherchannel or not.
    Also AFAIK SFP ports are just the physical medium so it does not make a differece, they should be capable of etherchannel.
    Also if one port of the channel goes down traffic will start trasversing through the other port so it will take care as redundancy. It will behave like other etherchannel which you cofnigure with copper ports.
    HTH, if yes please rate the post.

  • Ether Channel for WAN connection

    We have 2 WAN connection from the ISP 2 links (155M and 300M) . We would like to perform a Etherchannel on this links.
    Both the links termination are RJ45 to a Layer 3 switch. Can we configure Ether-Channel ? What is the condition for EtherChannel (eg no signalling from ISP) ?

    If you're on an ethernet connection, you should be able to do etherchannel but like what the others have said, you're do not have the same speed for each, load-sharing wouldn't be optimal.
    i'd rather do balancing via BGP by choosing what prefix gets advertised to a certain link, so I can at least maximize the two links. I have the same scenario before, I had 1 FastEthernet and 1 STM1 to a service provider, eBGP multihop load-share wouldn't cut it, I have to do manual prefix advertisement.
    hope that helps.

  • ESW 540 and Ether Channels

    We are trying to configure Ether Channels on our ESW 540 switches. We have configured the port(s) and made the physical connections but the Ether channel is only showing up at 1000M. It is my understanding that the port should be displaying at 2000M if configed with one pair of ports. Are there any other settings that need to be completed?
    Thank you,

  • How To Configure XI Receiver Communication Channel ?

    Hi Expert,
         I have a Scenario wherein i  have 2 XI systems & i need to pass the messages between these 2 XI / PI system using XI Adapter. Can any body tell me how to configure the XI Adapter Step by Step. Is it required to Create the SM59 RFC destination with type H. Pl. Explain me in detailed.
    Regards
    Umesh

    Hi Umesh,
    In creating XI receover communication channel, you have 2 options for Addressing Type:
    1. URL Address - no need to create RFC destination. You just have to specify the XI receiver host name, HTTP port, path (/sap/xi/engine?type=receiver), Authentication data (logon details for SAP Client number of the PI system).
    2. HTTP Destination - create RFC destination in SXMB_ADM and specify the RFC destination name in your receiver communication channel.
    For SAP documentation, see this link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/e1/091640a991c742e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm

    Hello srm2003,
    (1) Build your NI MAX task for your device - picture 6259-01.png.
    (2) DASYLab: Take a first NI-DAQmx Analog Input module, choose the MAX task and configure the channels 0...15 from device to 0...15 from module - picture 6259-02.png.
    (3) DASYLab: Take a second NI-DAQmx Analog Input module, choose the MAX task and configure the channels 16...31 from device to 0...15 from module - picture 6259-03.png.
    (4) Now you have 2 AI modules to handle the channels 0...15 (first) and 16...31 (second).
    Best regards

  • How to configure an Alert message if communicationChannel(JMS) stops

    All,
    Is there a way how to configure an alert when the communication channel stops.
    <b>Scenario:</b>
    In the path Runtime workbench->Component Monitoring->Adapter Engine->Communication Channel monitoring, if we see that a communication channel has stopped(RED traffic light as Status), then can we trigger an alert notification for same.
    Currently we have alrerts configured for any message/s failure in the JMS Adapter Framework. So can we trigger simmilar alerts when a comm channel stops(for whatever reason).
    Thanks in advance
    RK

    Hi Sreeram,
    Thanks for the quick reply.
    We have a scenario where we activate individual channels at a given time. So in this case, Adapter will always be in RED as all queues are never running in our scenario.
    So we need an ALERT to be triggered for individual comm channels. Is theer any way that you can think of ?
    Thanks and regards

  • How to configure Firefox to use OpenVPN?

    summary: I'm running OpenVPN from a Debian client through a Debian jumpbox/server. After I [start the server, start the client] most IP-based applications (DNS, ping, ssh) seem to work from the client, but client's Firefox cannot connect to http://www.whatismyip.com/ (or any other URI). How to configure Firefox to use the VPN? or otherwise fix the problem? or further debug it?
    details:
    I have a laptop running debian_version==jessie/sid with Firefox version=33.0 which needs to access a compute cluster. The cluster formerly required only an SSL VPN (enabled by a Firefox plugin) to access, but now has several additional requirements, which I seek to satisfy by running the SSL VPN through a jumpbox running an OpenVPN server. The jumpbox is running a "vanilla" Debian 7.7.
    I have been using the laptop successfully for a few years without network problems. Currently I have the laptop connected by wire directly to an ISP-supplied modem/router. With `openvpn` NOT running on the laptop, I see:
    * `ifconfig` shows no entry='tun0' (just "the usual" entries for 'eth0', 'lo', 'wlan0'), and shows the expected client IP# bound to 'eth0'.
    * I can `ping` my jumpbox/server using its real IP#, but cannot `ping 10.8.0.1`
    * I can `ssh` to my jumpbox/server using its real IP#, but cannot `ssh 10.8.0.1`
    * `nslookup www.whatismyip.com` gives correct results
    * browsing to http://www.whatismyip.com/ shows my client's IP# (as also shown in `ifconfig`)
    Both my client/laptop and server/jumpbox setups are quite generic OpenVPN-wise, and are almost exactly as described on the Debian wiki

    I then see the following on my client:
    * `ifconfig` shows a new entry=`tun0`, which looks correct
    * I can `ping` the server using either its real IP# or `10.8.0.1`
    * I can `ssh` to the server using either its real IP# or `10.8.0.1`
    * `nslookup www.whatismyip.com` gives correct results
    ... but I get no connection if I open a new instance of Firefox and browse to http://www.whatismyip.com/ :-( "Looking up www.whatismyip.com..." succeeds quickly but the status line continues to display "Connecting to www.whatismyip.com..." until the attempt times out. I also get the same behavior (connection timeout) if I open a new instance of Chrome, or if I browse to http://www.whatismyip.com/ with a Firefox opened prior to starting OpenVPN. FWIW I get the same behavior browsing to any URI, including (e.g.) Google.
    This is a major problem for me! For the SSL VPN to work, I need to start a Firefox and run it (since the SSL VPN's vendor only supports it on Linux via a Firefox plugin) to access a particular remote-access website. Furthermore I need the SSL VPN to run through the jumpbox/OpenVPN. (Don't ask, it's a long, sad story ...)
    Is there something I must do to configure Firefox to use the VPN? Or is there some other way to fix this?
    Alternatively, what should I do to further debug the problem? It just seems odd to me that the other services work (e.g., `nslookup`, `ssh`) but Firefox does not. That being said, both Firefox and Chrome fail in this usecase, so the problem might be generic to web browsers.
    your assistance is appreciated, Tom Roche <[email protected]>

    You're kidding. You have to go through that rigamarole just to put your bookmarks on your own server? Where's the simple FTP option?
    Also, the above-linked article has a broken link. The link to the weaveserver (which is what you have to set up on your own server) is no good, and there is no obvious replacement. There are plenty of Weave-related repositories here:

    but it's not clear what you need.
