port channel interface status is no operational member

[Ramesh Babu]

Dear Team,

Below port channel interface status is no operational member. But when we checked both interface physical status is up and running. Kindly do the needful.

Hello,

between which devices is the port channel configured ?

[Ramesh Babu]

Hi Georg,

Other end is HP server.

Port-channel is LACP

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Ramesh

I often see issues with server NIC teaming when integrating them with Cisco switches. When LACP is not running on the server side, you often see the port-channels themselves in 'suspended' status.

As ypu probably know, there are several config options available on Windows server for NIC teaming. The option you want configured on all servers is "switch dependent with LACP"

[Ramesh Babu]

Hi Friend,

Thanks for your info. I will check with my server team and get back to you.

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

try and configure 'channel-protocol lacp' on the Cisco member interfaces. Is there a specific reason your channel is configured as an access port and not a trunk ?

[Ramesh Babu]

Dear Friends,

Any update ?

Thanks & Regards,
