  • 1.  link aggregation between EX 4200 and Cisco 3550 with LACP

    Posted 05-21-2008 07:41

    Hello,

    I'm trying configure link aggregation with LACP beetwen Juniper EX4200 and Cisco 3550(Llink aggregation works without LACP).

    Juniper config:

     

     

    ge-0/0/2 {
    ether-options {
    802.3ad ae0;
    }
    }
    ge-0/0/3 {
    ether-options {
    802.3ad ae0;
    }
    }

    .....

    ae1 {
    aggregated-ether-options {
    minimum-links 1;
    link-speed 1g;
    lacp {
    passive;
    periodic fast;
    }
    }
    unit 0 {
    family ethernet-switching;
    }
    }

     

     

     

    Cisco config:

     

    interface Port-channel1
    switchport mode dynamic desirable

    ....

    interface GigabitEthernet0/11
    switchport mode dynamic desirable
    channel-group 1 mode active
    !
    interface GigabitEthernet0/12
    switchport mode dynamic desirable
    channel-group 1 mode active

     

     

    And cisco says:

     

    May 21 18:30:06.033: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Port-channel1, changed state to up
    Cat3550-12G#sh lacp internal
    May 21 18:30:07.033: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Port-channel1, changed state to up
    May 21 18:30:08.305: %ETHCNTR-3-LOOP_BACK_DETECTED: Keepalive packet loop-back detected on GigabitEthernet0/12.
    May 21 18:30:08.305: %PM-4-ERR_DISABLE: loopback error detected on Gi0/12, putting Gi0/12 in err-disable state
    Cat3550-12G#sh lacp internal
    May 21 18:30:08.337: %EC-5-COMPATIBLE: Gi0/11 is compatible with port-channel members
    May 21 18:30:09.309: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet0/12, changed state to down
    May 21 18:30:09.329: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Port-channel1, changed state to down

     

     

    Output from cisco:

     

    Cat3550-12G#show lacp 1 neighbor
    Flags: S - Device is requesting Slow LACPDUs
    F - Device is requesting Fast LACPDUs
    A - Device is in Active mode P - Device is in Passive mode

    Channel group 1 neighbors

    Partner's information:

    From Juniper:

     

    root@sw1# run show lacp interfaces
    .....
    Aggregated interface: ae1
    LACP state: Role Exp Def Dist Col Syn Aggr Timeout Activity

    LACP protocol: Receive State Transmit State Mux State
    ge-0/0/2 Defaulted No periodic Detached
    ge-0/0/3 Port disabled No periodic Detached

     

     

    Link aggregation between two EX 4200 work with LACP.

    Please help me,

     

    sorry for my bad english.

    Cisco command "channel-protocol lacp"solved my problem
