All server have dual interface connecting to LAN-2960-A and LAN-2960-B using interface bonding mode 6 miimon=100. Found that there are consistent packet drop for both LTB as below:-

ON LAN-2960-A there are 408 packet drop on interface 1 and 175 packet drop on interface 2 (connecting LTM) while all other interface record 0 packet drop. I would like to know what seems to be the problem? I have also tried to swapping another UTP cable while still encounter intermittent connection drop. Am my configuration correct?

For I don' have much idea over here, coz the fail over interface is a fibre direct connection.i do not think it matters.
