asr9k lacp/bundle with nexus 3k and vpc

[Giulio Lo Presti]

hello,

i have a problem in establish a lacp bundle from asr9k to 2x nexus 3k in vpc.

when i try to esatblish the channel without vpc everithing work correctly when i enable for example vpc 3 on port-channel on nexus the link go down and nexus say that there is a vpc mismatch.

i read that on ver 7 there is layer3 peer command in vpc domain submenu, it will solve my problem or not?

please advice.

check the  VLAN Allowed in the vPC Peer link.

if still issue post both the side configuration. and error logs here.

hello,

thanks for reply, i was able to establish the lag with vpc, i miss the configuration on other node, my fault, but testing the conf with only one link active i was not able to forward the test vlan. to be clear here the snippet of nexus and asr:

asr:

interface Bundle-Ether3
 lacp system mac fa16.3efd.75ee
 mac-address fa16.3efd.75ee
 bundle load-balancing hash dst-ip
 bundle maximum-active links 1 hot-standby
 bundle minimum-active links 1
!
interface Bundle-Ether3.807
 ipv4 address 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.252
 encapsulation dot1q 807

interface TenGigE0/1/0/2
 bundle id 3 mode active

nexus:

interface port-channel3
  speed 10000
  switchport mode trunk
  spanning-tree port type network
  vpc 3

interface port-channel10
  switchport mode trunk
  spanning-tree port type network
  no negotiate auto
  vpc peer-link

vpc domain 1
  role priority 2000
  system-priority 4000
  peer-keepalive destination 1.1.1.1 source 1.1.1.2
  auto-recovery

when i show the status of trunk on nexus on one side here is the output:

Po2           1       trunking      --
Po3           1       trunking      --
Po10          1       trunking      --

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Port          STP Forwarding
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Po2           1,101,112,114,116,131-132,150,157,160,187-188,200-202,501-506,508,701,801,803-807,900,999-1000
Po3           none
Po10          1,101,112,114,116,131-132,150,157,160,187-188,200-202,501-506,508,701,801,803-807,900,999-1000

as you can see the po3(the channel with asr) no vlan in forwarding

now the other nexus:

Po2           1       trunking      --
Po3           1       not-trunking  --
Po10          1       trunking      --

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Port          STP Forwarding
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Po2           1,101,112,114,116,131-132,150,157,160,187-188,200-202,501-506,508,701,801,803-807,900,999-1000
Po3           none
Po10          1,101,112,114,116,131-132,150,157,160,187-188,200-202,501-506,508,701,801,803-807,900,999-1000

the two nexus are configured the same, but on the second nexus the link is down. what i want to understand is: when a link go down the channel stop to work as expected? or i miss something?

thanks a lot for your advices.

i was able to solve this problem also, the stp cannot carry the vlans because of the port type network, after changing this the lacp works correctly. now i must upgrade the nx-os to 7.x to let the routing protocols works on vpc from nexus to asr.

thanks a lot for help.

Hello,

Could you describe more detail on this ? maybe the config of port type network. in which side you set it ?

Thank you in advance
