Issue with LACP mode support in Linux bonding driver

Issue with LACP mode support in Linux bonding driver

[Ajith Adapa]

Hi,

I am using Centos7 with v3.10 kernel.

My issue is related to multiaggregation in LACP.

In my setup topology I connected linux server and a L2 switch back to
back with 2 interfaces eth0 and eth1 (on both sides).

On Switch I have mapped eth0 to po1 and eth1 to po2. On linux server I
have created a single bond interface with both interfaces eth0 and
eth1.

On L2 switch both po1 and po2 has same system-id but the Actor key is
different i.e. on PO1 it is 16385 and on PO2 it is 32768. As per the
information available about bond0 on linux server which is given below
Active aggregator ID is 1 which is mapped to eth0 but eth1.

But we have observed that eth1 on linux server is also sending LACPDUS
with Collecting/Distributing bit set as 1. Which will result in single
bond interface on Linux server is splitted into multiple port-channels
on Switch causing duplication of frames on linux server.

As per IEEE 802.3ad 2003 standard portchannel should not support
multi-aggregation.

You are using a very old kernel. Have you tried it with the latest kernel?

what happens if you do link-down/up on the nic that is not part of the bond?

You can look in the MAINTAINERS file in a current source-tree:


BONDING DRIVER
M:      Jay Vosburgh <j.vosburgh@gmail.com>
M:      Veaceslav Falico <vfalico@gmail.com>
M:      Andy Gospodarek <gospo@cumulusnetworks.com>
L:      netdev@vger.kernel.org
W:      http://sourceforge.net/projects/bonding/
S:      Supported
F:      drivers/net/bonding/
F:      include/uapi/linux/if_bonding.h

Those "M:" entries give the maintainer(s)/people who should be cc'd on 
patches.  Further format explanation can be found in the beginning few 
"pages" of the file.
