    The LACP of the two interfaces is not stable.
    Ping falls to 20%

    Hello,
    I am trying to connect RHEL 7.6 to Switch Juniper EX4300 in LACP mode, I mean bond mode = 4 / 802.3ad.
    The switch has the following configuration:

    show configuration interfaces ae10 
    description DESC;
    aggregated-ether-options {
        lacp {
            active;
            periodic slow;
        }
    }
    unit 0 {
        family ethernet-switching {
            interface-mode trunk;
            vlan {
                members [ OOB_MGNT_DCE_RHEW OOB_MGNT_DCE_Monitoring OOB_MGNT_DCE_HW ];
            }
        }
    }
    

    On the server side, this configuration:

    Bond looks healthy, but ping responses have about 20% loss.

    I thought by default it would work without the need to try different bonding parameters.
    Please help find the mistake.

    Thank you and best regards Jiří Kameník
