2930m with JL083A not connecting to hp 10508-v core

    the core sees the link come up and shows it as up

    the 2930m shows the port as down

    both sides are configured as trunks with vlan 1as untag and 1001 as the tag

     

    the back of the 2930m on the JL083A module has a solid green in the bottom right which I think means it is ok

     

    but port 1 flashes a slow amber even with an sfp in it or not

     

    I tried multiple gbics in the SFP port but I just can't get it to go

     

    what am I missing

     

    I just want to use this switch for a tech room using a 10g connection

    Hi! Are you so kind to share with us the sanitized running configuration of your Aruba 2930M with the Aruba 3810M/2930M 4SFP+ MACsec Module (JL083A) inserted a supported SFP+ Transceiver plugged in?

     

    When you say trunk...do you mean (HP ProVision/HPE Aruba ArubaOS-Switch) "link aggregation" or (HP/HPE Comware) just an interface tagged with one or more VLAN IDs? it's quite important to clarify this.

     

    What are the characteristics of the fiber optical link between SFP+ Transceivers on the Aruba 2930M and the HPE FlexNetwork 10508-V?

     

    What's about providing the sanitized output (relevant to discussed interface(s) and without any Serial Number) of the CLI command show tech transceivers?

    First step to check layer 1: Do you see light on the fiber at both ends of the fiber?

    so i have the correct transceivers now and the link lights are good

     

    on the 10508 I have the port set as trunk with allowing 2 vlans

     

    on the aruba I have it set as a trk1 and 1 vlan is untagged and the other is tagged

     

    the ip to manage is on the tagged vlan but I cannot hit that ip

     

    if I connect to the switch on a port with that Ip I can manage the switch fine just not thru the 10508

     

    it's like i'm missing some security somewhere or the trk is not setup correctly

    I reiterate my question: when you say trunk...do you mean (HP ProVision/HPE Aruba ArubaOS-Switch) "link aggregation" or (HP/HPE Comware) just an interface tagged with one or more VLAN IDs? it's quite important to clarify this.

     

    You could have erroneously used link aggregation on Aruba side (you wrote trk1) and a plain interface set in trunk mode (carrying more VLANs) on the Comware side...how we are supposed to help you if we can't check that? ...if you don't provide us any evidence there is no game.
