Afternoon everyone,
Hopefully someone can point me in the direction of what i am missing. Have a new Dell 720XD and have teamed the NICs into a FEC/GEC config. All working sweet. On the switch side i configured those two port as a MLT. Here lies the problem. When transferring from that server to 2 other servers i can see it using the full 2GB bandwidth for the transfer. When i am transferring data to the 720XD from multiple hosts the utilization never gets over 50% so it look like its only using one of the links.
I tried changing the teaming and switch ports so its using LACP instead and get exactly the same results: 2 OUT/1 IN
Any pointers would be great as its got to the stage right now i am going in circles. Its pure bandwidth that we are after for the server.
