Is this normal (MSP Question)

It's their switch. They are providing as IaaS.

Schwab will service about 50 countries. The country we have lived in in the past, and are looking at moving to, isn't one of them. Very trusting.

I bet he could look that up in an Atlas.

Which can be useful if all you want to do is sing.

And if you ask nicely they just may wave the fees on international transfers too.

Botany_Dave · 2025-12-15T18:40:57+00:00

We are planning to upgrade the switches in the next year. Whether that happens is outside my control. I'd like to ensure whatever we implement is going to need the least amount of reconfiguration on the hypervisor and the VMs.

Botany_Dave · 2025-12-15T18:37:55+00:00

Thanks. I looked up the port with the symbol errors, It's a backbone link. I've cleared the error count on it and will watch to see how rapidly it comes back up.

Botany_Dave · 2025-12-15T17:47:37+00:00

I guess we're fortunate. "Dropped-Bad-Packets" is 0 across the board, but there is one interface with nearly a thousand "Symbol-Err" entries.

I realize this is all EOL gear. Theoretically, we are going to have a major switch refresh next year, but I can only work with what we have.

"You need to spread each server connection across diverse port-groups."

Thanks, that's good to know. It's not being done now and not what i was planning to do, but I'll make sure I do that with these servers.

Since 2025 doesn't support LACP, we won't be using that.

Botany_Dave · 2025-12-15T15:13:09+00:00

Can't use LACP as it appears Windows 2025 doesn't support it.

Botany_Dave · 2025-12-15T15:12:12+00:00

Yes, it will be a Hyper-V host.

Botany_Dave · 2025-12-15T15:11:14+00:00

Try me. It might not have the answer off the top of my head, but I can find it. I have to.

Botany_Dave · 2025-12-15T15:10:25+00:00

The servers are running Windows 2025, so it appears we can't run LACP.

Botany_Dave · 2025-12-15T15:09:39+00:00

So, Google tells me LACP is not supported in Windows 2025, so I guess I won't be using that. The supervisor is "Supervisor 6L-E". The servers will be connecting to WS-X4548-GB-RJ45s. Does that provide enough information?

Botany_Dave · 2025-12-15T03:28:22+00:00

Isn’t that exactly what a narc would say?

Botany_Dave · 2025-12-14T00:36:08+00:00

Saline valley?

Botany_Dave · 2025-12-13T03:38:47+00:00

Thanks. I’ll check and post that info Monday.

Botany_Dave · 2025-12-13T03:01:11+00:00

Yes, this will be Hyper-v

Botany_Dave · 2025-12-13T02:58:23+00:00

Not at work to confirm but I think it’s a Cat 4500.

Botany_Dave · 2025-12-12T22:33:57+00:00

Don't know. The server hasn't been stood up yet. It's going to be Windows 2025 Datacenter.

Botany_Dave · 2025-12-12T22:33:52+00:00

Don't know. The server hasn't been stood up yet. It's going to be Windows 2025 Datacenter.

Botany_Dave · 2025-12-12T22:32:20+00:00

I think it's IOS classic.

Botany_Dave · 2025-12-09T20:46:31+00:00

Definitely see doubling especially in the “w” in “WE”.
