Port-Channel Issue with Cisco 9200S and Dell S4048ON Core Switches

Hi everyone,

My organization recently purchased a Cisco 9200S switch for testing. Our core switches are Dell S4048ON. I'm trying to set up a port-channel between the core switches and the Cisco switch.

The issue I'm facing is that one of the ports in the port-channel on the Cisco switch is always in a "suspended" state.

This same configuration works perfectly on a Cisco 2960. I've double-checked the port-channel and individual port configurations, and there don't appear to be any mismatches.

show version CISCO

Cisco IOS XE Software, Version 17.12.03

show version DELL

OS Version: 10.5.2.2

Below is the configuration:

Core Switches (Dell S4048ON, configured in a stack using vStack)

Core-A

interface port-channel20

description to-new-cisco-test

no shutdown

switchport mode trunk

switchport access vlan 1

switchport trunk allowed vlan 9,160,168,224-225

spanning-tree vlan 1-4093 cost 500

vlt-port-channel 20

interface ethernet1/1/23

no shutdown

channel-group 20 mode active

no switchport

flowcontrol receive on

Core-B

interface port-channel20

description to-new-cisco-test

no shutdown

switchport mode trunk

switchport access vlan 1

switchport trunk allowed vlan 9,160,168,224-225

spanning-tree vlan 1-4093 cost 500

interface ethernet1/1/23

no shutdown

channel-group 20 mode active

no switchport

flowcontrol receive on

Cisco9200S

interface Port-channel1

description UPLINK

switchport trunk allowed vlan 9,160,168,224,225

switchport mode trunk

spanning-tree vlan 1-4093 cost 500

ip dhcp snooping trust

end

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/48

switchport trunk allowed vlan 9,160,168,224,225

switchport mode trunk

channel-group 1 mode active

ip dhcp snooping trust

end

interface GigabitEthernet2/0/48

switchport trunk allowed vlan 9,160,168,224,225

switchport mode trunk

channel-group 1 mode active

ip dhcp snooping trust

end

Here is the port-channel status from the Cisco switch:

Group Port-channel Protocol Ports

------+-------------+-----------+-----------------------------------------------

1 Po1(SU) LACP Gi1/0/48(P)

Gi2/0/48(s)

Any idea why Gi2/0/48 is always in the "suspended" state?

Thank you for your help!

@stastny 

channel-group 1 mode active

With this you are forcing LACP. You can try with different option. Both vendor may not understand each other

flowcontrol receive on

Another feature that can cause problem. Usually not used in cisco side

tried to turn off flowcontrol, still suspended

Try not to use Active mode.

Dell EMC switches support VLT ( like vpc in Cisco Nexus ) do u configured that and is your VLT link (po1000, by default) and keepalive link is up??

If no, then configure VLT domain first 

If yes, then check spanning tree and things that @Flavio Miranda mentioned 

 

 

HTH!!!
