I've got multiple port-channels configured between 2 Nexus 5672's to 9 different closets containing either 1 or upto 3 Cisco 3850 switches. Each closet has 2 fiber 10G SFP's uplinking it to each of the Nexus 5672 switches in the core. All uplink's and port-channels are working correctly except for one of my IDF's. The port configurations of all three of the devices (2 Nexus 5672's and 1 Cisco 3850) along with log entries and interface status are shown below. I can't seem to figure out why the port-channel for this IDF isn't working. In addition to the output provided below, I've also replaced the SFP on both sides of the link along with fiber cabling being used between the Nexus 5672 and the Cisco 3850.
My configuration –
Nexus 5672-1 10G SFP (eth1/18) connected via fiber to Cisco 3850-idf4 10G SFP (te1/1/3)
Nexus 5672-2 10G SFP (eth1/18) connected via fiber to Cisco 3850-idf4 10G SFP (te1/1/4)
