C9500 / Port-Channel issue

suneq
Level 1
Level 1

Hi all,

 

We have a simple topology like this:

 

Check Point A =====   2 x Catalyst 9500 in Stackwise Virtual  ===== Check Point B

 

The Port-channel between 9500 and Check Point A is OK

The Port-channel between 9500 and Check Point B is NOK: the 2 ports of 9500 are stuck in "waiting to be aggregated"

 

I'm pretty sure that the configuration in the switch are correct because it works well with the Check Point A.

I think that the problem comes from the Check Point B configuration but I need a way to prove it to the Check Point guy.

 

Do you guys know any useful CLI commands ("show", "debug"...) that I can use to investigate further please?

 

Many thanks.

Hi,

"sh etherchannel detail" should show you a lot of details about the setup. Once you have that info, ask the FW guy to give you the output from their side.

Thanks for your advice.

 

Here is the output:

We captured the traffic and saw a lot of LACP packets between 2 devices but it seems that the negotiation never happened and the port-channel remained down/down (physical ports were up / down (not connect))

 

If we issued "no channel-group 2 mode active" on physical ports, the ports and Po went up.

If we used the "on" mode, the Po went up as well.

 

I really do not understand what's happening. This should be something really basic..
