Issue with port-channels between firepowers and 2960s

Hi Team,

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

I am having a strange issue with port-channels that connect between a stack of 2960s and our firepower 2110s.

 

I have a port-channel on the switch with two physical interfaces, one from the master and one from the member. I also have a a corresponding port-channel on the firepower that they connect to.

 

When i reload the master switch, as expected the member takes over mastership, the port-channel goes down/down(unexpected) and the physical port for the reloaded switch goes down/down(expected) but for the new master the port goes up/down not connected(unexpected). Now once that reloaded switch comes back up as a member all the interfaces return to up/up, if i go and reload that exact same switch there is no affect on the port-channel, everything continues to be up/up. So it only appears to be an issue when reloading the master switch.

 

This issue is common among 4 stacks of 2960s we have connected to the firepowers.

 

Switch software is 15.2(7)E3

Firepower Software is 6.6.1

 

Config on switch interfaces:

 

Int G1/0/1

switchport access vlan 2222

switchport mode access

spanning-tree portfast edge

channel-protocol lacp

channel-group 1 mode active

 

Int G2/0/1

switchport access vlan 2222

switchport mode access

spanning-tree portfast edge

channel-protocol lacp

channel-group 1 mode active

 

int Po1

switchport access vlan 2222

switchport mode access

spanning-tree portfast edge

 

Config on Firepower from CLI(note this is a managed firepower):

enter port-channel 1

      enable

      enter member-port 1 1

             enable

      enable

      enter member-port 1 2

             enable

     exit

     set auto-negotiation yes

     set descr ""

     set duplex fullduplex

     set flow-control-policy default

     set lacp-policy-name default

     set port-channel-mode active

     set port-type data

     set speed 1gbps

 

I'm not sure if i have explained this very well so if there are any questions please hit me up. also see attached a diagram
