LINK_AGGREGATION HP12500 X SWITCH DELL PowerConnect M8024-k

[Adriano-Pellegr]

Hi all,

   I need to configure link-aggregation between a HP12500 and a switch Dell PowerConnect M8024-k.  On the side of the Dell was configured a port-channel with Hash type 3 - Source IP and source TCP/UDP port and on the side of HP is configured  as bellow,

DELL CONFIGURATION

SWHSLDELL01#show interfaces port-channel 17

Channel Ports Ch-Type Hash Type Min-links Local Prf
------- ----------------------------- -------- --------- --------- ---------
Po17 Active: Te1/0/17, Te1/0/18 Dynamic 3 1 Disabled

Hash Algorithm Type
1 - Source MAC, VLAN, EtherType, source module and port Id
2 - Destination MAC, VLAN, EtherType, source module and port Id
3 - Source IP and source TCP/UDP port
4 - Destination IP and destination TCP/UDP port
5 - Source/Destination MAC, VLAN, EtherType, source MODID/port
6 - Source/Destination IP and source/destination TCP/UDP port
7 - Enhanced hashing mode

HP CONFIGURATION

interface Bridge-Aggregation17
description LINK_TO_SWHSLDELL06
port link-type trunk
undo port trunk permit vlan 1
port trunk permit vlan 25 99 to 101 138 300 to 301 801 804 to 805 809 to 811 821 to 822 829 901 to 902
port trunk permit vlan 1150
link-aggregation mode dynamic
stp root-protection

 There are some  host lossing packets and the support of the Dell says that this configuration could be the problem.    Is anyone knows how is the best setup configuration to work with a Dell switch?  I need to change to static instead of dynamic link-aggregation mode??

Regards

We use link aggregation between our 5900 switches and Dell blade switches. On the HP side we use this config, and we have never experienced any packets loss:

interface Bridge-Aggregation1
 description BladeSW-1_536
 port link-type trunk
 port trunk permit vlan xxx yyy zzz
 link-aggregation mode dynamic
 link-aggregation load-sharing mode destination-ip

Thanks for the answer...in my case I need to change the global configuration in order to enable load-sharing mode. 

The problem is we have others bagg´s and I´m not sure what could be wrong if I change the link-aggregation mode.

Thanks
