Hi, we have problems configuring ESXi with IRF stack.
Example:
- 4 A5120 in IRF stack
- ESXi 5.5 with 4 links with ip based hash algo
we want these 4 links are being used as the default VLAN for the connesisoni ESXi LAN segment, and for any other VLANs configured to separate the traffic at the Port Group ESXI (vMotion, etc.).
Starting from the default IRF configuration, the PVID to this VLAN is 1 (default). Aggregating 4 ports as described in the documents (port link-type trunk), leaving ESXi without VLAN configuration on the VM port group for the LAN do not works.
interface bridge-aggregation 21
description LAG esxi11 lan
port link-type trunk
port trunk permit vlan 1
stp disable
interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/39
port link-type trunk
port trunk permit vlan 1
port link-aggregation group 21
interface GigabitEthernet 4/0/39
port link-type trunk
port trunk permit vlan 1
port link-aggregation group 21
Instead we works by configuring as "port link-type access" and leaving everything not tagged
interface bridge-aggregation 21
description LAG esxi11 lan
interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/39
port link-aggregation group 21
interface GigabitEthernet 4/0/39
port link-aggregation group 21
interface Bridge-Aggregation 21
port link-type access
port access vlan 1
but we have 2 problems:
1. when a member of the IRF is disconnected, some VMs do not communicate on the network (probably port sense problems or unsupporte port-tyoe access mode issue...), all works again and "immediately" as soon as we attach power supply, also if member switch is only on in this phase.
2. Probably with this configuration, we can not use VLAN in port group
What is wrong in the configuration with link-type trunk ?
Thank you in advance
