A consultant installs a new AHV cluster and moves the cluster into the customer's environment. Alter the move, the consultants notice that traffic is not being balanced across the physical NICs. The ToR switches have been configured with LACP.
Within Prism Element, which AHV network option should be set to resolve the issue?
In a situation where traffic is not being balanced across the physical NICs and the Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches have been configured with LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol), the appropriate AHV network configuration to resolve this issue within Prism Element is 'Active-Active.' This setting enables both NICs to actively handle traffic, which, combined with LACP, allows for load balancing and redundancy, effectively utilizing all available network paths. This setup ensures that traffic is spread evenly across the physical NICs, maximizing network throughput and resilience.
