Configuring a Dell switch to replace an existing Juniper

Dear Community,

we decided to replace our old Junniper QFX 5100 switches with a couple of new Dell  S5048F . The QFXs were configured in LACP for the ports connected to the coupled NICs of the ESXis, which, in turn, was configured with the algorithm ipsrc.

On the new Dells, configuring the ports as LACP, the aggregation doesn't work when connecting the 2 NICs.

I'm not so skilled on Dell switches, but there aren't many options to choose among.

Furthermore, the ESXis are in production, so I can move them one by one in MM - it also means that I can't change the teaming algorithm because they're connected via a VDS.

Anyone with same problem (and, hopefully, solution)?

Thank you

Raff

Just to explain what I typed, if anything wrong:

Model: S5048F-ON

On the other switch,

Thank you for helping me.

     What is the goal of the LACP?  Teaming or fail-over?  Also, are you using a distributed switch?
