Re: [c-nsp] Port-Channel Problem

2007-05-14 Thread Dan Armstrong
As a followup to this problem I posted about earlier - I've observed
some very strange behaviour that might explain why this GEC went stupid
on me for no apparent reason:


I setup a brand new GEC link, with 1 physical interface in the group.
This was brand new, to a new empty switch, so of course there was no
traffic on the link as show here:

GigabitEthernet1/13 is up, line protocol is up (connected)

But when I look at the port-channel, holy hanna!  What the heck?!  The

I did exactly that, and managed to get it to go into LACP mode.

The Etherchannel ran for about 3 hours without a problem, then all of a
sudden started losing pings all over the place.  I took one channel out
of service, and it was fine.

I tested both physical links separately, and they're both perfect.  I'm
scared to put them back into the Etherchannel now for fear that they'll
fail again.

I am using the single fibre SFPs (the GLC-BX-Us and GLC-BX-Ds) for both

Anybody seen an Etherchannel lose it when the two underlying physical
links are seemingly perfect on their own?

For the records - we use 3750 cross- stack even with
12.2.25SEC (yeah, dusty by now, but the first version that
supported that) and they just work, and they absolutely work
fine.

 Life was good, then:


 2 problems.  I first tried to change to LACP:

 metro2.tor-Front[760(config-if)#channel-group 10 mode ?
  active Enable LACP unconditionally
  auto   Enable PAgP only if a PAgP device is detected
  desirable  Enable PAgP unconditionally
  on Enable Etherchannel only
  passiveEnable LACP only if a LACP device is detected

 metro2.tor-Front[760(config-if)#channel-group 10 mode active


 The interface bounced, and went straight back into PAgP mode. 

 I tried it several times.  [EMAIL PROTECTED], always back to PAgP. 
 channel-group 10 mode desirable


 Second problem:

 I tried a second link anyway, and when I added a second link into the 
 PAgP group, the rely on the port-channel interface started dropping
 
 like 
   
 a stone,  packets were dropping all over the place and even though 
 everything seemed to be up, speed, duplex, vlans, configuration 
 perfectly matched between the underlying physical interfaces  the 
 port-channel interface the po interface was a mess.  The new 
 physical link on it's own is clean as a whistle when I setup a test 
 vlan, or set both sides up as routed interfaces

 Anybody have any light to shed?

Re: [c-nsp] Port-Channel Problem

2007-05-08 Thread Collins, Richard \(SNL US\)

So I suppose the opposite side was set at the same time to either
channel-group 10 mode [active or passive] for LACP?

What about additionally setting..
metro2.tor-Front[760(config-if)#channel-protocol lacp 
I can't test this myself but saw the configuration option.

Riddle me this.

I have 1 physical link, and a port-channel interface operating in PAgP
mode.

interface GigabitEthernet1/21
no ip address
 switchport
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk allowed vlan
50,80,119,300-304,349,412,420,440,444,446,447
 switchport trunk allowed vlan add 449,500,503,616,620,900
 switchport mode trunk
 channel-group 10 mode desirable
end

interface Port-channel10
 no ip address
 switchport
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk allowed vlan
50,80,119,300-304,349,412,420,440,444,446,447
 switchport trunk allowed vlan add 449,500,503,616,620,900
 switchport mode trunk


metro2.tor-Front[7609]#sh int po10
Port-channel10 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
