================

WIth this configuration, when I run iperf3 to look at the bandwidth,  I am seeing only 210 Kbps between 2 hosts using the private link.  If I use the public interface (which is a Gbps interface), I can see the 1 Gbps bitrate.

What am I missing in the configuration?  Please let me know.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Unfortunately I can't help you with the configuration support. But I believe our community can help. I can only recommend you to take a look at the following in general. I would 

  • Take a look at the spanning tree setup with show spanning-tree.
  • Check out the VLAN settings using show vlan.
  • See what the duplex mode is with show interface <interface_name>.
  • Check the MTU values by running show interface <interface_name> mtu.
  • Verify the link aggregation setup using show lacp.

Thanks. I already configured it (as shown above) and wanted to know what the issues that can cause this.  Will see if others can chime in.
