STP loop with LACP channel between Cisco switches

[w.kuhn]

need some help here...

Trying to setup 4 ports lacp channeled between 6500 (CATOS) and 3560 but ports keep going into errdisable.

Here's config with some show output attatched...

Switch_6509

set port lacp-channel 9/26-29 839

set port lacp-channel 9/26-29 mode active

9/28 Switch_3560 gig0/27 errdisable 19 full 1000 10/100/1000

9/29 Switch_3560 gig0/28 errdisable 19 full 1000 10/100/1000

Can you provide the configuration of each one of the ports on the 6509 CATOS?

Everything looks fine on the output but I would need to check that.

Might try changing the trunk parameter you have nonegotiate on the 6509 side but not on the 3560 side , you would need to add "switchport nonegotiate on the 3560 interfaces. It checks all these parameters . Something to try.

[w.kuhn]

Glen... added switchport nonegotiate to gig0/25-28 on 3560.... enable ports but still same problem.

Check your native vlan on both sides looks like it might be 1 on the 3560 side but 19 on the 6500 side. To match them on the 6500 side do a set vlan 1 9/26-29 , then reenable the ports and see what happens.

[w.kuhn]

Thanks Glen...

Having it setup as trunk ports I'd overlooked the need for it to be in same vlan...

Interesting that Trunks are first to be established and no indication of VLAN mismatch (which would have been helpfull).

Thanks for your help...

Cheers

[glen.grant]

Try bringing down all the ports at once on the 6509 set port disable 9/26-29 and then bring them all up at once set port enable 9/26-29 and see what happens , sometimes if you don't bring up both sides close together on a negotiated etherchannel the switch protects itself by tearing down the channel.
