Lacp Layer 3 Etherchannel

Alek1
Level 1
Level 1

Hey,

 

I am doing a project for school and i have to configure Etherchannel. I am trying to configure layer 3 channel between Cisco iol and Aruba CX in Eve-ng.

Cisco(e1/0-3) -------------------Aruba(1/1/5-8)

 

When I configure them for some reason on Cisco switch interface 1/0 and 1/1 are working but 1/2 and 1/3 are suspended, on Aruba 1/1/5 and 1/1/6 are blocked/suspended but 1/1/7 and 1/1/8 are working.

When I do on same switches, Cisco on Cisco and Aruba on Aruba, everything works and I can ping but only when I do Cisco and Aruba somethings wrong.

 

Below is configuration of Cisco and Aruba

 

Cisco:

 

interface port-channel 1
no switchport

ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0

no shutdown
exit

 

interface range ethernet 1/0-3
no switchport
channel-group 1 mode active

no shutdown
exit

 

 

Switch(config)#do show etherchannel summary
Flags: D - down P - bundled in port-channel
I - stand-alone s - suspended
H - Hot-standby (LACP only)
R - Layer3 S - Layer2
U - in use N - not in use, no aggregation
f - failed to allocate aggregator

M - not in use, minimum links not met
m - not in use, port not aggregated due to minimum links not met
u - unsuitable for bundling
w - waiting to be aggregated
d - default port

A - formed by Auto LAG


Number of channel-groups in use: 1
Number of aggregators: 1

Group Port-channel Protocol Ports
------+-------------+-----------+-----------------------------------------------
1 Po1(RU) LACP Et1/0(P) Et1/1(P) Et1/2(s)
Et1/3(s)

 

Aruba:

 

interface lag 1
ip address 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0
lacp mode active
no shutdown
exit

interface 1/1/5

interface 1/1/6

no shutdown
exit
interface 1/1/7
lag 1
no shutdown
exit
interface 1/1/8

no shutdown
exit

 

switch(config)# show lacp interfaces

State abbreviations :

Hello,

 

configs look ok, you don't really have many options. What if you set the Aruba side to lacp passive (shut/no shut the lag interface)?

 

interface lag 1
ip address 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0
lacp mode passive
no shutdown
exit

Aruba CX is a virtual switch. Hope you evaluated with changing different parameters as active, & passive, and active & Active.

 

One thing comes to mind as did you know the maximum limit of member ports of an EtherChannel for this Aruba switch? Did you change this value?

Hello

Try enabling udld on the physical ports of the lag

int 1/1/5,1/1/6
udld

sh vsx-status
sh vsx-status vsx-peer
