LACP S3500 to Cisco 3560

[jp_stokes]

Anyone have experience with the proper configuration to setup a LACP port-channel group from Aruba mobility switches to Cisco switches, specifically 3560, and willing to provide the config needed? Currently we are unable to get L2 connection. Thanks!

Try this:

interface Port-channel1
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 100,200
 switchport mode trunk


interface GigabitEthernet1/0/23
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 100,200
 switchport mode trunk
 channel-group 1 mode active
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/24
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 100,200
 switchport mode trunk
 channel-group 1 mode active



interface-profile switching-profile "TRUNK"
   switchport-mode trunk
   trunk allowed vlan 100,200

interface-profile lacp-profile "LACP"
   group-id 1
   mode active

interface gigabitethernet "0/0/4"
   lacp-profile "LACP"
!
interface gigabitethernet "0/0/5"
   lacp-profile "LACP"


interface port-channel "1"
   switching-profile "TRUNK"

ADD PORT CHANNEL MEMBERS TO INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL 1

We are not trunking, but other than that I was attempting the same config. Still no success to get connection between the two.

[alexng]

ok. so an access port from the 3560 to the s3500?

[jp_stokes]

Yes, correct.

Taking from your example the config was "similar" to below and I was unable to get link status up on either 1 or both ports:

interface Port-channel1

 switchport
 switchport access vlan 222
 switchport mode access

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/23
 switchport
 switchport access vlan 222
 switchport mode access
 channel-group 1 mode active
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/24
 switchport
 switchport access vlan 222
 switchport mode access
 channel-group 1 mode active



interface-profile switching-profile "ACCESS"
   switchport-mode access
   switchport access vlan 222

interface-profile lacp-profile "LACP"
   group-id 1
   mode active

interface gigabitethernet "0/0/4"
   lacp-profile "LACP"
!
interface gigabitethernet "0/0/5"
   lacp-profile "LACP"


interface port-channel "1"
   switching-profile "ACCESS"
