Prime 3.1 + LAG ports on WLC

martynch1

I wonder if somebody could help me find a solution to stop Prime 3.1 monitoring unused LAG ports on our WLC’s.

We have a number of WLC’s that use ports 1-4, ports 5-8 are unused but as LAG is enabled Prime reports that these ports are down:

Alarm Condition: Link down
Message: Port '4' (Description: 'Not Available') is down on device '10.10.x.x. - Device Name: bh-wlc01 - Reporting Address: 10.10.x.x Failure Source: 10.10.x.x:bh-wlc01(MAC ADDRESS)

Is there a way of stopping Prime monitoring these ports so we don’t get alarms showing and reporting as down.

Thanks

Hi

Go to controller tab > ports of wlc and select your unused ports and set the Link trap to disabled for each unused port.

Thanks Andrew.

Here are the equivalent CLI commands (let's say you want to disable it on port 2-8)

config port linktrap 3 disable
config port linktrap 4 disable
config port linktrap 5 disable
config port linktrap 6 disable
config port linktrap 7 disable
config port linktrap 8 disable

You can verify using "show port summary" command

(WLC01) >show port summary

3 Normal Disa Enable Auto Auto Down Disable N/A Not Present
4 Normal Disa Enable Auto Auto Down Disable N/A Not Present

That worked until there was a patch release (PI 3.1.4 Maintenance) now they report as down again even though we have link traps disabled.

Bug maybe?

This hasn't worked for any version of PI for me.  The only sure fire way is to schedule a maintenance window, break your redundancy, disable the ports and bring it back online.

This is happening on my solution as well. The traps are disabled but when I clear the alarms they keep coming back.

Has anyone got a fix for this yet?
