nonegotiate

[Ibrahim Jamil]

Hi Folks

trunk to the blade hase to be "switchport trunk nonegotiate" else we will face problem,am i right?

[Latchum Naidu]

Hi Ibrahim,

The switchport nonegotiate command is used to stop the port from sending DTP messages (Dynamic Trunk Port).

The switch port from switch should be configured as a trunk negotiate like below I have the same scenario like you...

interface GigabitEthernet4/40
description Connected to Blade link 2
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 50
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode on

Hope this helps you...

Regards,
Naidu.

Hi and thanks for ur reply

if nonegotiate isnt configured so this lead the ports on the blade to blinking orange?

my port-channel is acitve no ON?

so i have to configure in the interface "switchport trunk nonegotiate"

how can i verify if it set to negotioate?

Hi,

You can verify trunking status in "show int trunk" output. To check the running config of the interface, do show run int gix/y.

so it has to be configured as switchport trunk nonegotiate or switchport trunk negotiate?wich one its ok coz this is a blade not switch to sent DTP Msg?

[Shashank Singh]

Hi,

Exactly, as blade cannot send DTP messages, use "switchport trunk nonegotiate" to hardcode trunking.

what do y recomend the Port-channel settings? ON or ACTIVE in this situation Blade to CORE

[Shashank Singh]

Hi,

For the same reason (blade may or may not negotiate on port channel also), I would suggest we use "channel-group # mode on" to hardcode port channel.
