LACP Configuration | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

Hi Team, Im trying to enable LACP on AHV cluster. Currently we have 1 cluster with 5 AHV nodes in it. I have enabled VDI pro license to the cluster. Now when i goto "network" from prism element, I do not see "uplink configuration" option at all. Please guide me what is the cause and work around. 

Also nutanix recommendation on lacp bond mode. can I set the bond mode to active-active ? 

Did you refer to and followed the steps mentioned here? How to Enable, Disable, and Verify LACP on AHV hosts

Have you verified the VLAN Configuration for CVM and Host? What is the status on Prism Central?


To enable LACP you need to configure is on both sides of the cable. So enabling it in Nutanix and on the switches. The Nutanix steps are outlined in the link above my post. 

Make sure LACP fallback is enabled so netwerk keeps working if the LACP is not configured correctly. 

I recommend doing this outside production hours and plan the change before making any changes. 

The settings can be found in Prism Element → Settings → Network Cofiguration → Virtual Switch → Pencil.
