hello,

the side of blade server, whare are the configuration of LACP? becuase in the attachment i don't look the LACP active work.

you need enable LACP on side of blade switch.

/c/l2/lacp/port INT1
        mode active
/c/l2/lacp/port INT2
        mode active
/c/l2/lacp/port INT3
        mode active

this a example.

CORE 1

interface Ethernet1/3

  switchport mode trunk

  channel-group 26

  no shutdown

weyy,

what part do you need to complete that implementacion?

[edwincharles]

hi,

i configured on one switch lacp, the link is up and running

but while configuring on the second switch , the ports goes up and down and disconnecting

[edwincharles]

Dear Neya,

The LACP config worked for the connectivity between the core.

is it possible to trunk the internal port for multiple vlans , as the blade servers have virtual OS

[Ney Alfredo Mendez Ulloa]

The configuraton side of core 1 and core 2 is fine, but you need to enable LACP but blade switch, I don't look the lacp active in the configuration enable lacp on interface the blade switch.

[edwincharles]

on core side should we change mode of channel group to active or no need

and for blade sw do we need to add the admin key or no need

/c/l2/lacp/port INT1
        mode active

/c/l2/lacp/port INT2
        mode active
