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

Remove the etherchannel configuration from the switch and try again. This will most likely solve the issue.

Hi,
Have you tried "channel-group 1 mode on" instead of active as i don't think the Team driver is capable of negotiating the channel using LACP.
"on" means that the link aggregation occurs without LACP.
Also although not relevant to your issue HP recommends having portfast enabled on your teamed switch ports.
