Nexus 7k vPC to Catalyst 3750

[mshatkus1]

All,

I am having trouble getting a port-channel to come up.  I have two Nexus 7ks connected to one Catalyst 3750.  Please lend me some assistance.  Here are the relavant configs for each:

Nexus7k-1# sh ru int po48

interface port-channel48  

description uplink to Catalyst3750  

switchport  

switchport mode trunk  

switchport trunk native vlan 666  

switchport trunk allowed vlan 2050  

vpc 48

Nexus7k-2# sh ru int po48 

interface port-channel48  

description uplink to Catalyst3750

That's the same command output as posted the post earlier except cleaner.  Cannot stand how text copies into the editor, so I pasted it into notepad and made it an image to read easier.  Can anyone help me as to why the port-channel will not come up?  Do you need any more information?

Hi Matt

Can you please show:

sh vpc

sh port-cha summ | grep 48

sh int eth 1/2

sh int po48

from both n7k.

Thanks

Hi Matthew

Andras is right. From the output - both physical interfaces suspended and port-chanel is down due to abscence of operational members.

Usually links are suspended due to inconsistency of configuration on LACP peers.

If you check the log on n7k (show log log) and catalyst (sh log) you should see the reason why the links are suspended.

But most likely it's due to native vlan mismatch.

You didn't set native VLAN on the 3750.

Mat,

I will suggest to check 2 things to narrow it down.

1.Remove the ports from port channel and confirm they are coming up/up as trunk ports to narrow down issue with LACP .

2.Is native vlan 666  up ? i dont see that on the VPC peer link if that is up i should see that,this could be due to the fact that you have L2  inconsistency (Type-2 inconsistency reason       : VTP type-2 configuration incompatible ) fix this as well.

Vishwa..
