Dear All

I have a big issue on Ether Channel between 6k to 5k . I found that some of ports "w"  , i am unable to get the reason. My design is Cisco core switch VSS with two Cisco nexus 5k with vpc configuration . I have configure L2 port channel 108 between all "Cisco VSS , Cisco n5k VPC" .

Q1- I have issue on port channel not all ports are in p in bundle  mode  , only ports which connected to main core 1 on p  bundle mode , but other ports which connected to second switch "w" waiting to be aggregated ?. Is it ok to put all etherchannel on same port channel 109?.

 

Q 2- I am going to integrate with 2 X ASR , i have to configure 2 port channels from 2 X ASR  to VSS or 1 etherchannel ?

 

 

thanks

Depending on the line card of the 6500, you could be missing the command "switchport trunk encap dot1q".

Hello

 

Thanks Leo for your answer , but no it isn't recognized command under port configuration. Can u help me for the below question please:-

 

Q1- Is it ok to put all Cisco VSS ( two core switch 6K and 2 VPC " 2 nexus switches) on same port channel 109?.

 

Q 2- I am going to integrate with 2 X ASR  , i have to configure 2 port channels from 2 X ASR  to VSS or 1 etherchannel ?

 

thanks

hi

Please advise .

 

thanks

 

Q1

Your config lacks the vpc ID. Add

vpc 109 

On both Nexus switches under the port channel 109 interface. 

 

Q2

You need 2 port channel, each going from ASR to both VSS switches.
