Bro The switch has nothing to do with it, it would have failed every time. The Loadblancer.

Actually, if the switch was configured with a port-channel with the default load balance method then this could happen. It would depend how the clients hashed. There’s not enough information to say that it is the switch so I agree that it’s load balancer in this scenario.

disagree. The default etherchannel configuration doesn't take into account the layer 4 information for the hash. Since layer 2 and 3 information would be identical for the 2 authentication attempts, the data should traverse the same link each time.

Selected Answer: A
Only load balancer makes sense. The issue is seen by different clients so it can happen with packets comming from any network. If the server is located after a load balancer this makes sense, because only 1 link is working.
