Port-channel on FRP 2120

kostasthedelegate — Thu, 04 Feb 2021 08:16:29 GMT

Hello,

I have a FRP 2120 running ASA

I am creating a port-channel (EtherChannel) and I would like to assign to it some of the ethernet interfaces of the ASA.

When I go to the interface of the ASA the Channel Group is grayed out.

From the chassis manager, I have also created the port-channel and have assigned the interfaces but in the ASA stays the same

What am I missing?

Thanks and regards,

Konstantinos

Once you have created the portchannel in FCM, assigned the physical interfaces and assigned the portchannel to the ASA; you should then be able to edit the portchannel from the ASA (ASDM or cli).

Hello @Marvin Rhoads

I had created the port channel on ASA first. I deleted both and created only in FCM and assigned the physical interface.

I can see then in ASA.

Nevertheless, in the ASA I cannot see that the interfaces are assigned to the port-channel.

In the interface of ASA the Channel Group is still grayed out.

Suggest to look at the video step by step - FP4K, but all FP same as per port-channel concern. ( make sure you created and tickbox to enable). - make sure you reload the ASA after config to take effective.

Have you tried reloading the ASA application post creating the port channel on FCM ?

I can create sub interfaces

The only thing is that the interfaces are not shown under the port channel

Maybe this is only visible in the chassis manager, where the hw is managed.

@kostasthedelegate that is correct. The portchannel member interfaces are ONLY viewable on the Firepower Chassis Manager GUI or the FX-OS cli. They are completely hidden from the ASA for both configuration and show commands.

sure that way it should work for you.
