<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi folks,<br>
<div><br>
I configured an access link-group between a SE-100 and a Brocade MLX. The problem i face is that traffic from the Brocade towards the Redback is being split among the links but the other way around, the Redback sends traffic using just one link. I have set
the link-group both with LACP and static but the result was the same.<br>
I have tried both round-robin / interface-based, created the link-group both as access and access-economical, had the link-group both static and lacp - same result was reached.
<br>
I was wondering if this is a limitation of the SE-100 unit or i am missing something?<br>
<br>

Just as a note, non-access link-groups btw the Brocade MLX and the Redback unit work fine.<br>
