hi all,
on my switch i have made two uplinks to another switch (my core switch which carries all the vlans 35,110,130,240,250)
interface TengigabitEthernet1/0/1
spanning-tree link-type point-to-point
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan remove 1,7,999
macro description switch
!next command is internal.
macro auto smartport dynamic_type switch
!
interface TengigabitEthernet1/0/2
spanning-tree link-type point-to-point
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan remove 1,7,999
macro description switch
!next command is internal.
macro auto smartport dynamic_type switch
!
i would like to combine them so they use all the two ports/interfaces instead of just using one so instead of 1gb i get 2gb as i want much throughput or performance as possible
my core switch is a ubiquiti NOT a cisco so will this be a problem?
thanks,
rob

Hello Rob,
Obviously, we cannot authoritatively comment on the Ubiquity switch capabilities since this forum targets on Cisco products. However, what I can say at least in general is this: Try searching in the configuration guide or on the internet whether your Ubiquity switch supports the EtherChannel / Port Channel / Link Aggregation / LACP (any of these names refers to the same technology). If it does, there is a high chance you will be able to set up an EtherChannel between your Catalyst and the Ubiquity switch. Also, if you can share the exact type of your Ubiquity switch, we can try to Google for the necessary support on that model - please note, though, that this will come at no guarantee since we do not specialize in Ubiquity products.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best regards,
Peter

thanks peter!
i have a
i will check out the ubiquiti to see if it can do etherchannel/portchannel etc

Hi Rob,
I believe it is. Check this document:
I suggest you use the Auto option as the Link Negotiation, and on the Catalyst side, configure both ports using channel-group 1 mode active command. This should enable the LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) as the signalling protocol to negotiate the EtherChannel creation.
Best regards,
Peter

thank you guys!!!
i imagine as soon as i set up the aggregation on the ubiquiti side i will lose telnet access on the cisco switch so i need to locally set up aggregation on there via a console port?
do i do this -
conf
interface port-channel 1
end
conf
int range te1/0/1-2
channel-group 1 mode active

mmm... not working on my SG350 switch
studio1(config)#int range te1/0/1-2
studio1(config-if-range)#channel-group 2 mode active
% bad parameter value

Hi Rob, hi Joe,
Rob, would you mind trying to remove the macro lines from your Te1/0/1 and Te1/0/2 before applying the channel-group command? I suspect it is interfering with the creation of the Port-channel interface. Also make sure that the Port-channel interface does not exist before configuring the channel-group command; if it does, and you know it is not being used for a working EtherChannel, remove it beforehand.
Best regards,
Peter

OK I will do this Monday and get back to you guys
Yeah I find that odd it puts macro lines in after the config...
I will do a 'sh int st' to see if any port groups are being used
Thanks guys!

Another question is this is a Sg350 switch so will the commands be the same as true cisco switches

ok think i know why
studio1(config-if-range)#channel-group 1 mode
on Add port without LACP
auto Add port with LACP
studio1(config-if-range)#channel-group 1 mode auto
now i done that, i tested it with some other ports and now i want to delete port channel 1 but i cant
when i do
config
no int port-channel 1
it doesnt let me
resolved it
int range te1/0/3-4
no channel-group

mmm...
seems like it doesnt like the ubiquiti switch when i make both the cisco and ubiquiti switches both ports aggregate
i think the problem is the ubiquiti switch
