Bonding using 802.3ad great for windows, invisible to Mac


Recommended Posts

I thought I'd finally try enabling bonding on my tower.  I have a DLink DGS-1100-16, which supports trunking or 802.3AD, so why not?

 

After a bit of fumbling and coordination attempts between configuration of the tower and the switch, I got 802.ad working great for my windows machines with transfers topping out at 100MB/s or so, whereas before bonding was enabled they'd top out at 30MB/s or so.  Problem was, my Mac OSX clients (all running El Capitan or Sierra) couldn't see the tower at all.  Couldn't even ping the tower.  They had no issues with the basic non-bonded configuration.

 

Tried searching the forums for similar issues, but people just aren't talking about OSX.  I'm assuming this is likely a compatibility issue with the switch, if anything.  Anyone have similar issues?
