Hi
I think u need to use LACP instead of pagp becoz its cisco proprietary.
And i see the ports on the other switch as shutdown,enable them and check.
Thanks

Thanks for reply:
Both switches are CISCO
CISCO 6509
CISCO 3012

Hi
Can u try the below config on both the switches.
interface range gig8/3-4
switchport
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk encap dot1q
channel-group 1 mode desirable
Thanks

You are forcing one side on while the other side is trying to negotiate using pagp , make both sides as desirable non-silent .
channel-group x desirable non-silent.

I have had other issues but am coming back to this issue which is still outstanding:
Here is the current state. I have followed the CISCO / IBM redbook on how to do almost the EXACT configuration that i have (http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp3869.html pages 124-128)
Also CISCO website http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps708/prod_white_paper09186a00800c8441.html

I figured out the error.
I just needed another CISCO guy to sit next to me to point it out ...
Root Cause: Patching cables and documenting 2am :(
If you look closely at CDP neighborhood it shows:
sw00 Gig 0/18 128 R S I WS-C6509 Gig 7/6
sw00 Gig 0/17 128 R S I WS-C6509 Gig 7/5
so the sw15 (3012 blade switch)ports 17 and 18 are plugged into sw00 ports 7/5 and 7/6 NOT the 7/3 and 7/4 that I was expecting.
Lesson learned: CDP = Friend trust it not your helpers patching cables.
