I saw this post: Can Aruba Controller Support 802.3ad? which is a little dated but I'm not sure if it holds true because i couldn't follow the link referenced. I was looking into creating a link agg with a palo alto device and I was told that they don't support LACP just traditional 802.3ad. Does the 7240 controller support this?

As always - thanks,

Rosie

Yes - see below:

Thanks for the quick reply!

Do you know if there would be a problem mixing the copper and sfp ports? 

So just to confirm you want to create a static port channel not an LACP based port channel correct? If it is the former, you can also refer to this config snippet in the KB.

There shouldn't be a problem mixing copper and SFP ports as long as the speeds are the same (e.g. 1G).

Yes, it's my understanding that we'd need to configure it manually/statically.

Thanks for the config snippet!

This is the information from PA that I was going by:

https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/docs/DOC-3594

where a users posts: 

"PAN OS 5.0 support Link Aggregation on all models 

But, it’s just configured manual (same mode ON EtherChannel).

LACP is a protocol, PAN is not support."
