I see the “old guard” approach (like me).
“Bravo!”

I don’t know exactly how it’s working but I’m not completely surprised, either. Is it receiving on disparate ports or only sending?

I have always read and been told that you cannot use LACP with independent switches and should use stacked switches to accomplish LACP with resiliency.

We have got a stack of switches (D-Link 1510 series) however we are doing a firmware upgrade to the stack with minimal downtime to the network. For that reason we have put another D-Link 1510 (not part of stack) in and we’re moving one cable from each of our server teams across to this other switch so we can power down the stack to upgrade. Most servers are switch independent so we weren’t worried, however a couple of servers are LACP and we have discovered that as long as we set-up LACP on the switch port we’re connecting to on the new switch, we can still have one port connected to each of the independent switches and they still work.

When I say still work they show OK within Windows NIC teaming and traffic is sent and received through both adapters. I thought this couldn’t happen. Can anyone explain? I’ve been googling and reading everything!

Thanks, Joe.

I’ve an issue with Teaming NIC configuratin on HyperV 2012 R2.
Can I expose to you my problem
Thanks in advance
