Etherchannel issue

[Thameem1981]

Hello all,

I am trying to form EtherChannel just for testing in Packet tracer and not getting the desired results. When I try to form LACP active on both ends one of the Port goes to I-Standalone mode, not sure what mistake I am doing. Someone can have a look at the config and explain the issue here.

Problem between CSW2>DSW1>Port22 and PO2

CSW1:

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/22

switchport mode trunk

channel-group 2 mode active

!

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/23

switchport mode trunk

channel-group 1 mode active

!

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/24

switchport mode trunk

channel-group 1 mode active

CSW2:

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/22

switchport mode trunk

channel-group 2 mode active

!

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/23

switchport mode trunk

channel-group 1 mode active

!

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/24

switchport mode trunk

channel-group 1 mode active

DSW1:

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/23

switchport mode trunk

channel-group 2 mode active

!

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/24

switchport mode trunk

channel-group 2 mode active

Hello,

It could be stuck as it doesn't seem to recognize LACP messages on the port. I would verify your configs and run a shut/no shut on the ports or even restart the devices. 

Make sure you verify connections as well. i.e. the correct ports are plugged in/configured.

Hello @Thameem1981 

The main issue lies in the mismatch of channel-group assignments and potentially misaligned configurations between CSW2 and DSW1. Align the channel-group configurations on both ends and ensure all interfaces in the EtherChannel have identical settings.

First create Po interfaces on each side, and add interfaces on that Port-Channel.

Once corrected, the EtherChannel should form correctly without any ports in I-Standalone mode.

Dont add the config to the interface. Just add the interface to the port-channel and then add the config to the port-channel 

Int po X

switchport mode trunk

Dont worry' save lab close it and open again and issue will solved.

PT is just a simulator; not real thing; some things may not work or work as real IOS does; 

you can attach PT file here but it must be in zip format

Dear's 

Thank you for all of your responses, I tried all the possible ways to make it work but still is not working, attached the packet tracer file for your reference. I dont know understand I just did what said that I configure PO's first then for the interfaces but still they are not forming. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you all..
