Hi,
I have a HP server with HP network Configuration Utility 7.86. I've selected for the teaming properties :
Team Type selection : Automatic
Transmit load balancing :Automatic
On my 2950 switch both ports are configured for active channeling :
interface FastEthernet0/4
channel-group 1 mode active
!
interface FastEthernet0/5
channel-group 1 mode active
!
Although the NCU stays in Transmit load balancing and the channel doesn't come up.
Channel-group listing:
----------------------
Group: 1
----------
Group state = L2
Ports: 2 Maxports = 16
Port-channels: 1 Max Port-channels = 16
Protocol: LACP
Ports in the group:
-------------------
Port: Fa0/4
------------
Port state = Up Sngl-port-Bndl Mstr Not-in-Bndl
Channel group = 1 Mode = Active Gcchange = -
Port-channel = null GC = - Pseudo port-channel = Po1
Port index = 0 Load = 0x00 Protocol = LACP
Flags: S - Device is sending Slow LACPDUs F - Device is sending fast LACPDUs.
A - Device is in active mode. P - Device is in passive mode.
Local information:
LACP port Admin Oper Port Port
Port Flags State Priority Key Key Number State
Fa0/4 SA indep 32768 0x1 0x1 0x4 0x7D
Age of the port in the current state: 14d:20h:08m:32s
Port: Fa0/5
------------
Port state = Up Sngl-port-Bndl Mstr Not-in-Bndl
Channel group = 1 Mode = Active Gcchange = -
Port-channel = null GC = - Pseudo port-channel = Po1
Port index = 0 Load = 0x00 Protocol = LACP
Flags: S - Device is sending Slow LACPDUs F - Device is sending fast LACPDUs.
A - Device is in active mode. P - Device is in passive mode.
Local information:
LACP port Admin Oper Port Port
Port Flags State Priority Key Key Number State
Fa0/5 SA indep 32768 0x1 0x1 0x5 0x7D
Age of the port in the current state: 14d:20h:08m:32s
Port-channels in the group:
---------------------------
Port-channel: Po1 (Primary Aggregator)
------------
Age of the Port-channel = 14d:20h:08m:53s
Logical slot/port = 1/0 Number of ports = 0
HotStandBy port = null
Port state = Port-channel Ag-Not-Inuse
Protocol = LACP
What's wrong ?
I prefer the automatic/automatic mode on the HP NCU so the utility can decide what teaming method is the best.
Thanks,
Kristine
