port hot standby down in nexus 7k vpc port channel

Hi all,

we have ucs fabric interconnect which connect to vPC domain (2 nexus 7ks), each fabric interconnect has 8 uplinks to 7k paris (4 uplinks for each 7k)

those 2 Nexus7k are running on the same firmware and ucs fabric interconnect connect to the same module and port of two 7k.

So basically, everything is same on two 7k.

On 7k-2, all ports in vpc port channel from ucs fabric interconnect are up.

But on 7k-1, we have 2 ports down which shows "hot standby in bundle"

7k-1# show int e9/6

Ethernet9/6 is down (Hot standby in bundle)

we have not define MaxBundle (the maximum number of bundled ports allowed in a LACP port channel)

any idea about this?

You can use show cdp neighbor on the interfaces. You should get the 6K name and serial number. You can use this to ensure the devices are cabled as you believe. I suspect you have a cabling problem.

Issue seems to be with LACP port priority,

LACP Port Priority

Each port that is configured to use LACP has an LACP port priority. You  can accept the default value of 32768 for the LACP port priority, or you  can configure a value between 1 and 65535. LACP uses the port priority  with the port number to form the port identifier.

LACP uses the port priority to decide which ports should be put in  standby mode when there is a limitation that prevents all compatible  ports from aggregating and which ports should be put into active mode. A  higher port priority value means a lower priority for LACP. You can  configure the port priority so that specified ports have a lower  priority for LACP and are most likely to be chosen as active links,  rather than hot-standby links.

I understand you do not have any LACP port-priority configured under  interface it could be some software bug preventing this port to be in  active bundled in port-channel. Have you seen issue after ISSU upgrade from 5.2(3) to 5.2(4)??

Try this :

Do show run all and make sure all ports in port-channel 202 has same priority.

Manually configure lacp port-priority on all ports to same value between 0-65535 on all member ports

if nothing works then collect show tech lacp and post it here.

Hello Wei,

Port hot standby down in nexus 7k vpc port channel
There can be a cabling issue if not then try configuring LACP with port-channel deployment

this is due to the cabling issue. Please check the primary connectivity configured in the port channel

show vpc 202

show vpc 203

I think the link is mic connect the right port.
