Hey guys!
In my opinion, only one port appears to be working, while the others show as "up" but with a "down" protocol status.
Let's troubleshoot this together! Here are a few steps to check:
- Make sure both the Dell switch and the Cisco N5k-2 are configured identically for the port channel. Any mismatch could cause issues.
- Verify that Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is enabled and configured correctly on both switches. LACP allows for automatic port bundling.
- Double-check that each physical interface included in the port channel is properly configured and shows as "up."
Take a look at the switch logs for any error messages or clues related to the port channel. These logs can be helpful in pinpointing the problem. - It might seem simple, but sometimes the culprit is a loose cable! Double-check all physical connections between the switches and the server.
And If these steps don't solve the issue, resetting and reconfiguring the port channel might be necessary. I hope this will help you.
Thanks.
