How exactly & specifically does layer 3 LACP destination address hashing work?
Based on an earlier question over a year ago (Multiplexed 1 Gbps Ethernet?), I went off and setup a new rack with a new ISP with LACP links all over the place. We need this because we have individual servers (one application, one IP) serving up…

We are slowly starting to implement dhcp-snooping on our HP ProCurve 2610 series switches, all running the R.11.72 firmware. I'm seeing some strange behavior where dhcp-request or dhcp-renew packets are dropped when originating from "downstream"…

Network traffic doesn't appear to leave the trunk
I'm in the process of staging up some new virtualization servers, and part of that is to get some higher-bandwidth pipes into them. The ultimate goal is to bind 4 GigE ports into a single trunk carrying 802.1q tagged traffic. I can get that far,…
