  • 1.  Cisco Ethernchannel mode on vs 6300 arubaOS-CX

    Posted Dec 16, 2020 10:08 AM

    Hello,

    I must create a aggregation link (2x10G) between a Cisco and Aruba-6300. The problem is that Cisco must use mode on. There is no packet exchange to create the aggregation. I have ArubaOS-CS 10.04.2000 but I think it only supports LACP (mode active/passive). Is it possible?. Can I upgrade/downgrade ArubaOS-CS to support a aggregation link vs a Cisco device with mode on?.

    Thanks

    Regards

    Hi,

    On the 6300 just create a lag interface: interface lag 5 (for instance).

    By default this LAG is a static LAG (no LACP data-unit are exchanged, no lacp in the LAG interface config).
    So, you're good to go with our current firwmware.

    LACP passive is when the switch expects to create a LAG using LACP but it will not trigger LACP DUs.

    LACP active is when the switch expects to create a LAG using LACP and will initiate LACP DUs for this.

    Below a quick example to create a port-channel/linkaggeregation/lacp on a abura-cx switch.

    AOSCX01# config

    AOSCX01(config)# int lag 10

    AOSCX01(config-lag-if)# no routing

    AOSCX01(config-lag-if)# no shutdown

    AOSCX01(config-lag-if)# lacp mode active

    AOSCX01(config-lag-if)# lacp rate fast

    AOSCX01(config-lag-if)# vlan trunk allowed all

    AOSCX01(config-lag-if)# interface 1/1/2

    AOSCX01(config-if)# no shut

    AOSCX01(config-if)# lag 10

    AOSCX01(config-if)# write mem

     

    AOSCX02# config

    AOSCX02(config)# int lag 10

    AOSCX02(config-lag-if)# no routing

    AOSCX02(config-lag-if)# no shutdown

    AOSCX02(config-lag-if)# lacp mode active

    AOSCX02(config-lag-if)# lacp rate fast

    AOSCX02(config-lag-if)# vlan trunk allowed all

    AOSCX02(config-lag-if)# interface 1/1/2

    AOSCX02(config-if)# no shut

    AOSCX02(config-if)# lag 10

    AOSCX02(config-if)# write mem
