Question 1 - Have you run command "show lacp local" to check the LACP mode of each link, when the trunk is up?
Question 2 - on the AoS-S series switches "show ip route" displays active static routes. You can test this by quickly deleting your lower distanced route. The other static route should then show in the table. Assuming the L3 interface with the next hop is UP/UP.

Subject: Creating LACP LAG & Static routes
Hello there,
I've got two questions and I'll really appreciate some help and guidance.
First, we would like to configure a LAG/port-channel between Aruba 2930M and Cisco 3850 switches, as follows :
On Aruba :
trunk 1/A1,2/A1 trk6 lacp
On Cisco :
interface port-channel10
switchport mode trunk
interface gi1/10/1
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 10 mode active
interface gi1/10/2
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 10 mode active
I've noticed that once I added mode "active" to the physical interface I lose the connectivity to the Aruba switch.
Does this command "trunk 1/A1,2/A1 trk6 lacp" on Aruba switch mean LACP is in active mode ? if not, how can I make it active to match what's configured on Cisco switch?
Secondly, the default route (0.0.0.0/0) on Aruba 2930M switch is pointing to the next-hop which is our VPLS provider currently, now we're installing a firewall and we would like to use it as the primary gateway and VPLS as backup if the link to the firewall ever dropped/disconnected.
So, I'm about to do the following :
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 <firewall LAN IP> distance 1
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 <VPLS IP> distance 10
so, when I do show ip route , I only can see the default route is pointing to the firewall IP only ? is that expected ?
Thanks!
