802.3ad/Link Aggregation fails to negotiate the same aggregator id on all bonded interfaces

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When the bonding interface is enabled, it will not operate at all or operate properly for a short period (20 seconds) then disconnects (lasting 10 seconds).
  • The bonding interface disconnects every 30 seconds repeatedly until the switch marks the interface as suspended.
  • Changing the LACP rate to fast on the host and switch does not correct the issue.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
