EtherChannel under Dynamic Routing Network

Tang-Suan Tan

Level 1

Hi all :

I have configured the EtherChannel in a network. This is a Dynamic Network by using switches. The problem now I have is if between two switches with Dynamic Routing and there is EtherChannel for two ports (just a minimum 2 lines port-channel), the whole connection will down even I only shut up one port.

Below is configuration of two switches with the proper port-channel setup and these two switches are running OSPF routing, they are working fine with all the two ports are on. When anyone of the port is down, the whole connection is down. This is not good as the EtherChannel should provide redundancy that with one port down, another port should cover the connection and the connection should be normal.

By just taking out the  Dynamic Routing between these two switch, the two lines are acted as redundancy to cover each other.That means if I shut up one port, another port can act as connection for the two switches.

May I know is that a way by Dynamic Routing, the EtherChannel can work as redundancy?

Many thanks!

Best regards,

TangSuan Tan

Hi,

Can you change the mode to active on one side and passive on the other side and test again?

switch-2

interface FastEthernet0/1

no switchport

channel-group 1 mode active

no ip address

duplex auto

speed auto

switch-1

interface FastEthernet0/1

no switchport

channel-group 1 mode passive

no ip address

duplex auto

speed auto

shutdown
