Port channel(MEC) issue with HP procurve

mateens
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,

I have a pair of cisco 9407R in stackwise virtual. Trying to do multi chasis port channel using lacp with HP pro curve 5412zl. Port channel stays active for few sec and then goes is in err-disable state.

 

Gi 1/6/0/37 & Gi 2/6/0/37 on Cisco are connected to C23 & C24 on HP.

 

HP config:

 

SW-A:

 

vlan 140

   name "Managementnett"

ip address xxxxxxxxxxx

   exit

 

interface C23

lacp active

interface C24

lacp active

 

trunk C23-C24 trk1 lacp

 

vlan 140 tagged trk1

vlan 1 untagged trk1

 

 

 

 

 

Cisco config:

 

vlan 140

name mgmt

int vlan 140 

ip address xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

SW1

interface GigabitEthernet 1/6/0/37
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode active

 

interface GigabitEthernet 2/6/0/37
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode active

 - Do you have any more info in the switch-logging, issue - show logging . , just after the interface get's disabled (?)

I suspect STP is doing something i dont understand. Cisco core is running rapid-pvst and hp access is running mst.

Hello
This may not be anything to do with your aggregation but as you stated pertaining to STP however i would check if lacp isn't negating connection also.


The stp boundary between ( the PC's) of the Hp and Cisco may have gone into a inconsistent state due to the cisco expecting a bpdu per vlan and the HP isn't.

What is the defined stp root the cisco or the HP?

There is an old cisco 6509E core switch running pvst acting as CST root to all HP access switches which are running default mst. I am running a test by configuring lacp with our future core a C9407R pair (stackwise virtual) to one of the HP access switches.
I have tried to
-configure pvst filter command at HP side
-portfast trunk command at cisco side
-changed STP mode to pvst
-making etherchannel with ON mode
-used ports on same chasis

result is pretty much the same every time. Link comes up for a few sec and then is err-disabled.

Hello

As the cisco is the cst root and to negate any possible stp pvst simulation failure between the cisco and hp switchesv make sure the cisco vlans has a better stp priority than the mst 0 of the HP ( i guess this is the case anyway)

However on the cisco...
vlan1 has a higher priority  than all other vlans.

example
Cisco:
spanning-tree vlan 1 priority 4096
spanning-tree vlan 2 + priority 0

HP
spanning-tree mst 0  priority 8192

@paul driver
Yes, Thats how it is already on the old cisco core and is working alright. Issue comes while establishing port channel from a Hp to the new cisco switch.
spanning-tree priority 15 is on HP which sets it to highest priority and old cisco has priority set to 24577. The new cisco switch has default 32768.

“Old core switch- new core switch”

maybe I have missed something how are all 3 switchs interconnected?

Yes, the third one is cisco 9407 pair configured with stackwise virtual. The plan is to replace the old cisco 6509E. All HP access switch would be connected to the new core with multi chasis etherchannel.
C6509E ---- HP(20+ switches) is the old network topology where core is handling inter vlan routing.
I am conecting the new cisco 9407 pair with multi chasis etherchannel to one of the HP switches.

like this:
C6509E ---- HP ====== cisco 9407 stackwise virtual pair.

Hello

why are you connecting the new core to the HP and not connecting it directly to the old core Then you can migrate the hps over to the new core as/when you desire 

 

The plus side of that is the old core would still be the cst root and the new-core would   be the cist regional root for any migrated hp switches and once the hp access switchs have been relocated then remove interconnect between old /new core and enable the L3 routing on the new core

 

If the issue isn’t due to amy lacp mismatch the reason why you are getting stp blocking at present could be due to the hps seeing the old core a stp root and the new core least preffered

Because i wanted to test mchasis etherchannel behaviour with Hp first before starting migration.
I think i should use a standalone hp switch with basic configurations ...

I suggest that would be best to test the connection between your new core and a hp switch off your production network as eventually the hps will just connecting the new Cisco core anyway

Hello,

 

on a side note, when you created a static port channel, did you turn off LACP on the individual HP interfaces ? I have a sample config for a static port channel that would translate, in your case, to:

 

HP SW-A

 

SW-A(config)# interface C23 no lacp
SW-A(config)# interface C24 no lacp
SW-A(config)# trunk C23-C24 trk1 trunk

 

Cisco SW1

 

interface GigabitEthernet 1/6/0/37
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode on

!

interface GigabitEthernet 2/6/0/37
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode on

@Georg Pauwen

Yes, same result.
