link aggregation
3 TopicsLink aggregation with Link controller
I know link controller load-balances multiple ISP links. Is it possible to achieve combined maximum of two or more links using Link controller? I have two ISP links. I want to have the combined bandwidth of both of them as a single link i.e. (eg. Link1 30Mbps + Link2 40Mbps = 70Mbps). Can Link controller achieve that? Please show me how.

I am trying to design a setup like the one below and need some assistance on how to make the connections: +----------+ +------+ Router +-----+ | +----------+ | | | | | | | | | +----------+ +-----------+ | LTM01 +-----------+ LTM02 | +----------+ +-----------+ | | | | | | | | | | | +--------------+ | +----+ Linux Server +---+ +--------------+ My questions are: How do I setup the connection to the upstream router? Do I tell the router is an LACP LAG or just two independent connections? Do I do anything special on the LTM's? How do I setup the connection to the internal Linux server? Do I tell the server that its a LACP LAG? If not, how do I keep from getting a split route? Do I do anything special on the LTM's? For what its worth, the Linux box has fail-open NIC's in it and will be connected to a pair of MLAG'ed switches farther down stream (LACP LAG on the Linux end).305Views0likes1CommentBIG-IP VE: 40G Throughput from 4x10G physical NICs
Hello F5 Community, I'm designing a BIG-IP VE deployment and need to achieve 40G throughput from 4x10G physical NICs. After extensive research (including reading K97995640), I've created this flowchart to summarize the options. Can you verify if this understanding is correct? **My Environment:** - Physical server: 4x10G NICs - ESXi 7.0 - BIG-IP VE (Performance LTM license) - Goal: Maximize throughput for data plane **Research Findings:** From F5 K97995640: "Trunking is supported on BIG-IP VE... intended to be used with SR-IOV interfaces but not with the default vmxnet3 driver.
