7200 - G1 PortChan MTU‏

johnelliot6
Level 2
Level 2

Hi,

Have a G1, with one active Gig port in a portchan (Second member is currently disconnected, but is also a Gig port on the G1) - No other ports are configured as member ports.

Gi0/1 (Active member) has an mtu of 1998(As does innactive member port) - Portchan doesnt have an mtu configured (So is defaulting to 1500)

Attempting to change the mtu on the portchan, I get the following:

(config)#interface Port-channel1

(config-if)#mtu 1998

% At least one member of the channel group 1 is not a 2FE port adapter

Any suggestions why this is happening?

#sh int gigabitEthernet 0/1

Hi,

Since gi0/3 is down, can you delete it from portchannel 1 and then try setting the mtu on the portchannel?

interface GigabitEthernet0/3

no channel-group 1

Also, are gi0/1 and 0/3 in the same port adapter?

HTH

Just an update to this - Replicated the setup on a spare 7200 w/ G1:

(gi0/1 + gi0/3 are on same NPE-G1)

Removing Gi0/3 from channel group made no difference.

Changing mtu on physical Interfaces had no effect (i.e. It remained in the Interface config as "mtu 1998") - I was able to change the mtu on the physical Ints by first issuing:

ip mtu some_other_number_besides_1500 - Once this was done, I was able to set the mtu on the physical Ints to 1500.

But, I was then still unable to change the mtu on the portchan - Still received "

% At least one member of the channel group 1 is not a 2FE port adapter" no matter what value I entered.

So, as a last resort I defaulted the physical Int, then was able to change the mtu on the portchan without it complaining, and then re-added the phyical Int back to the portchan, and I now have 1998 mtu.

(config)#default interface gigabitEthernet 0/3

Building configuration...

GigabitEthernet0/3 taken out of port-channel1

The "[no] negotiation auto" command will have no effect with this interface
