[ovs-discuss] LACP Bonding with OpenvSwitch

[Kevin Han]

Hello,

I have 2 ethernet ports that I want to bond together using LACP, these are
the commands I'm using so far:
ovs-vsctl add-br br0
ovs-vsctl add-bond br0 bond0 eth0 eth1 lacp=active
other_config:lacp-time=fast trunks=10,20**

However, when I use: ovs-appctl bond/show bond0, I get shown that
lacp_negotiated=false.

Is there something that I might have missed? How can I successfully set up
link aggregation with my eth0 and eth1 ports?

Thank You,

Kevin Han

You can find out some more information about LACP status with
"ovs-appctl lacp/show". Perhaps that is a starting point.

Hi,

When I run ovs-appctl lacp/show I get the following output:

I am trying to bond 2 wireless NICs together for increased redundancy. To
do this, I am bridging both wireless cards into a virtual machine and
running open v switch from there. Could it be that this isn't possible? Are
there any settings that I might have to change on my wireless NICs (like
enabling LACP)?

Thank You and sorry for the long post,

Kevin Han

Wireless NICs generally do not like bridging very much.
