Bonding 2 microwave links

Thu Oct 08, 2015 7:20 pm

I have two 300Mbps Microwave links joining 2 sites together. One site is just a relay point to get bandwidth to the other site. On either side I have CCR routers.

Because the radios are inband managed as configured, I have the radios listening on one vlan and a different vlan configured for passing data. I have verified individually that I can pass traffic between the CCR routers over those Vlans...


CCR1 --- ether1 --- vlan301data ----- RADIOSET1 ----- vlan301data ---- ether9 ---- CCR2
--- ether 2 --- vlan303data ----- RADIOSET2 ----- vlan303data -----ether10 ----

My problem is that when I have the bonding set to 802.3ad and vlans 301 and 303 included, the data only passes over one of the data ports. I have tried different hashing choices but it is always the same. This is a point-to-point link and there is not presenting multiple MAC addresses. Maybe I should not use 802.3ad but some other bonding. The problem is that I do not know.

I want to get 600Mbps aggregate bandwidth, how do I do this? I have scoured the forum and am not getting anywhere.

Thanks
Gilbert

Hello, I don't know how you've configured this but. You need to create the bonding first and create the vlans on the just created bonding interface

The bonding interface is bonding 2 vlans. I would only bond 2 interfaces, but I need to manage the Microwave links. So the Vlans are not on the bonding interface. I question was how do I get the traffic to evenly pass over both the microwave links. 802.3ad does not seem to work since the link is point-to-point and not a bridge.

802.3ad is not per packet balancer. Change to balance-rr .
Also note that there should be no interference and both links should have the same bandwidth.

We ended up switching to banance rr to send traffic over both links. At this point the traffic looks good and I am not seeing any issues.
