Hello!

I'm trying to build a trunked uplink with a HPE 2530 and CX 6000 switch. The 2530 is configured as below.

HP-2530-48G-PoEP                                           14-Apr-2025  12:31:55
===========================- TELNET - MANAGER MODE -============================
                   Switch Configuration - Port/Trunk Settings

  Port     Type      Enabled      Mode      Flow Ctrl  Group  Type
  ----  ---------- + -------  ------------  ---------  -----  -----
 ...
  51    1000SX     | Yes      Auto          Disable    Trk5   LACP
  52    1000SX     | Yes      Auto          Disable    Trk5   LACP

HP-2530-48G-PoEP                                           14-Apr-2025  12:34:51
===========================- TELNET - MANAGER MODE -============================
               Switch Configuration - VLAN - VLAN Port Assignment

  Port   DEFAULT_VLAN   Management    WLAN_GAST        DMZ         Testnetz
  ---- + ------------  ------------  ------------  ------------  ------------>
...
  Trk5 | Untagged      Tagged        Tagged        No            No

Where Default_VLAN = 1; Management = 2; WLAN_GAST = 3; DMZ = 144; Testnetz = 145; vMotion = 192

How is this configuration done with the CX 6000 switch as the menu function in CLI is missing?

Hi!

Example (Logical interface lag1 made of physical interfaces 1/1/49 and 1/1/50):

interface lag 1
    no shutdown
    description lag1 uplink to trk5 Aruba 2530
    no routing
    vlan trunk native 1
    vlan trunk allowed 1,2,3,144,...  <--- place here the full list of (existing) VLANs you need to allow on the lag1 [*]
    lacp mode active
    spanning-tree loop-guard

interface 1/1/49
    no shutdown
    mtu 9100
    description Interface-1-1-49-lag1
    lag 1

interface 1/1/50
    no shutdown
    mtu 9100
    description Interface-1-1-50-lag1
    lag 1

You should use similar interfaces on Aruba CX 6000 side, the type and speed should be identical on both ends (e.g. a pair of 1 Gbps optical Short Range Transceivers on Aruba 2530 side and a pair of 1 Gbps optical Short Range Transceivers on Aruba CX 6000 side).

[*] At Aruba 2530 side check with show vlan ports ethernet Trk5 detail to see the VLANs membership of the trk5 logical interface.
