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.

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..
