HP teaming

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.
