  • 1.  Unable to communicate Cisco and HP switch via glass fiber

    Posted Aug 16, 2022 01:44 PM
    Hello Everyone,

    I am still new with HP procurve switches.

    I am trying to connect Cisco Stacked switch to single HP switch. Connection will be Cisco 1/1/1 will connect to HP procurve switch on port no 25 via glass fiber.

    unable to see any lights coming out from 1/1/1 also tried different SFP module but no luck. Any suggestions will be great help.

    Here is the config 

    interface GigabitEthernet1/1/1
    description HP407:port 25
    switchport trunk native vlan 70
    switchport trunk allowed vlan 16,50,70,310,314,317,318,345,413,668,684,693,694
    switchport trunk allowed vlan add 708,834,837,971-976,979,1163-1170
    switchport mode trunk
    ip device tracking maximum 65535
    load-interval 30
    channel-group 22 mode active
    spanning-tree portfast disable

    I'm not sure, but could you please give some additional information for both sides (cisco and hp/aruba)?

    show interface status
    show interface brief
    show interface port-channel
    show interface transceiver
    show lacp
    show trunks
    show port-channel
    show portchannel
    show etherchannel
    show ether-channel
    show spanning-tree

    Not every command is available on any switch. Please use the "?" or tabulator-key for any command help.
    Please insert the commands output by code button, or as a txt attachment for the cisco and the hp/aruba device.


    I do not see any port config for the hp/aruba switch. So not sure if enabled or not or how it is configured. But 'cause of the vlan config there should be a lot of tagged vlan (so a trunk interface).

    BUT:
    What I can see so far is that the cisco interface seems to be configured for ether-channel ("channel-group 22 mode active"). If thats the case all the config (like vlan and spanning tree) has to be done under the appropriate port-channel interface.
    The hp/aruba seems to miss the matching ether-channel configuration. It could be like this:

    conf t
    !
    trunk 25 trk<number> lacp
    !
    interface trk<number>
     enable
    !
    interface 25
     lacp active
    !
    vlan <vlan-id>
     tagged trk<number>
    ! or
    interface trk<number>
     tagged vlan <vlan-id>
    !
