between N5K and Nexus 9K port channel not coming up

[lerner cisco]

Hi All,

trying to configure port channel between Nexus 5k and Nexus 9K ,  port channel not coming up . the connected interfaces on the Nexus 5k device  status is suspended , Once I remove port channel configuration , interface status  moved from suspended to connected , any suggestion please ?

configs

interface port-channel300
   switchport mode trunk
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 300-314,703
  speed 10000   ( this got added automatically under the portchannel 300)

interface Ethernet1/3
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 300 - 314,703
  channel-group 300 mode active

interface Ethernet1/4
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 300 - 314,703

the moment remove int port channel 300 from the switch , ports status shows - connected instead of suspended

Hello,

try and enable lacp:

nexus5K(config)# feature lacp

[lerner cisco]

feature lacp already in place , disable and added again , still no luck :(

Hello,

I am not sure if that makes a difference, but I usually explicitly include Vlan1 in the allowed list of Vlans (unless of course you have configured another Vlan as the native one).

[lerner cisco]

thank you all your inputs , I will let you know once done , remote end nexus 9K customer supported , yet to get response from them . thanks again.

Hi,

Can you try this;

Completely delete po300 from both switches

no po300

also under interface 1/3 and 1/4 delete all these commands on both switches.

  switchport mode trunk
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 300 - 314,703
  channel-group 300 mode active

now rebuild po300 this way

interface Ethernet1/3 and 1/4
 
channel-group 300 mode active

this command create po300.

now add these commands to the po interface and not the physical interfaces

int po300

switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 300 - 314,703

no sh

At this time po300 should come up as well as interfaces 1/3 and 1/4 and also sync below commands to the physical interfaces

switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 300 - 314,703
