Hi,
I am currently setting up a LACP port-channel on the Cisco 6509 (SUP720-3BXL with the following modules:
NAME: "6", DESCR: "WS-X6348-RJ-45 48 port 10/100 mb RJ45 Rev. 6.1"
PID: WS-X6348-RJ-45 , VID: , SN: XXXXXXXXXXX
NAME: "7", DESCR: "WS-X6548-RJ-45 SFM-capable 48-port 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Rev. 6.1"
PID: WS-X6548-RJ-45 , VID: , SN: XXXXXXXXXXX
The config:
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 242 bytes
!
interface FastEthernet6/20
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 42,100,101
switchport mode trunk
no ip address
speed 100
duplex full
channel-protocol lacp
channel-group 20 mode passive
end
c6509_testlab#sh run int fa7/20
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 242 bytes
!
interface FastEthernet7/20
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 42,100,101
switchport mode trunk
no ip address
speed 100
duplex full
channel-protocol lacp
channel-group 20 mode passive
end
The switch immediately gives a error message:
2d02h: %EC-SP-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE_LACP: Fa7/20 is not compatible with aggregators in channel 20 and cannot attach to them (qos-disallowed card type combination: Fa7/20 and Fa6/20)
2d02h: %EC-SP-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE_LACP: Fa6/20 is not compatible with aggregators in channel 20 and cannot attach to them (qos-disallowed card type combination: Fa6/20 and Fa7/20)
However, the port-channel comes up but also spawns a secondary interface Port-channel20A.
What I'll like to know is, what does the error message (underlined in red) mean? And is there a way to get rid of the secondary port-channel?
If all it takes is for both cards to be the same model, that would be easy, but if it's configuration related, what should I look out for?
If more information is needed I'll be happy to provide. Thanks in advance.
