settings for etherchannel

[prashantrecon]

Two isp for point to point link etherchannel concept

Isp 1 has auto neigiotation seetings

Isp2 2 has full duplex and speed 100

Does this creates problem for etherchannel

Thus both isp should have same seetings such as auto

I am geeting suspended error for etherchannel

Hello Prashant,

already answered in another thread in LAN forum

yes it can cause problems as the speed and duplex settings are not identical even if both are 100 full one is the result of negotiation and one is manually set

You have to make both links identical also for speed and duplex and you have to contact ISP tech stuff to see how to to do it.

Hope to help

Hi  Giuseppe

I am successfuly in bundling the link.But not able to obtain redudancy particular with one link only.

As I told you  there are two links eg isp1 and isp2.

If isp1 goes down there is no problem.

If isp2 goes down than entire concetivity will be lost ?

Please suggest.

Please suggest

Hello Prashant,

may you post the following:

a) with both link operational

show etherchannel N  detail

from both switches where N is the port channel number

b) with only one link operational  (ISP2 down)

show etherchannel N  detail

from both switches where N is the port channel number

You have to check if both links are operational on both sides according to switches

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Hi Giuseppe ,

Today I observed a strange behaviour.

On site when 1shut down the interface gi1/32  than from site 1 i was not able to ping site2 end servers(from site 2 i didnot shutdown gi1/0/32)

But when from site 2 i was able to ping site 1 servers.strange

Than i decided to shutdown the interface gi1/32 from site 1 and gi1/0/39 from site 2 than both side were able to access the servers.And also the data was getting replicated through others isp link.Failover is taking place.

Than question

As I have two links with 20 Mbps each  so tottaly 40 MBPs.

Is it possible to load balance 20mbps data on each link.As this is L3 etherchannel how can i achieve this.

[Giuseppe Larosa]

Hello Prashant,

without a control protocol like LACP you can face issues like the one you have described.

I know that you have already tried to use LACP with no success. I would suggest you to try again.

Load balancing will be based on  IP source address EXOR IP destination address

Thanks a lot for your guidance.

Not able to bundle using lacp.

And one side it indicate 00
