Configuring 9222i for Port-Channels to 6500

[Jason White]

I need to configure an MDS 9222i to do EhterChannel for redundant links to a Cisco 6500. I have tried to configure channel-group on the GE interface and I get an error (see below)

b0maumigrjax(config-if)# channel-group 1

command failed: Member list of different interface types not supported [created]

Hi Jason,

Ethernet port channels are not supported on the 9222i.

You can place the fcip interfaces in a port-channel.

David,

I tried that as well. I still was not able to get the interface's to come up in sh ether summ on the switch.

fcip profile 1

Hi Jason,

This is now a fibre channel port-channel.

You can verify with these comands,

show port-channel summary

show port-channel database

show interface port-channel 1

show topology

David,

I must still be doing someting wrong on the switch side. The ports are sill coming up suspened. do you have an idea of what the switch code should look like?

Hi Jason,

I'm guessing the interfaces are still in the isolated vsan 4094.

config

vsan database

vsan x interface port-channel 1

vsan x interface fcip1

vsan x interface fcip2
