[nog] LACP between swiches and Linux

[Svetlana Atanasova]

Hi,

Yes, we are using it and it's working like a charm. It's between Cisco 
4948-10G and linux box. Here are the specific configurations:

Cisco:
  channel-protocol lacp
  channel-group X mode active

I'm not sure if it was related to problems with etherchannel, but it's a 
good idea to turn off flow control with command "flowcontrol receive 
off". Anyway I don't like how flow control works between cisco switches 
and linux boxes, when it's on there are too many pause frames and it's 
only on the ports where linux boxes are connected.

Linux:
in /etc/modprobe.d/bonding.conf
options bond0 miimon=100 mode=4 lacp_rate=1

lacp_rate=1 is the most important in this configuration
