2910al - Can't remove dynamic LACP trunk group

[las_2]

Hello there!

I want to create a trunked link among two 2910als, after creating dynamic LACP trunk on two ports with command
#int 46,48 lacp active
2910al lost connection to second one,
and now I cannot remove LACP trunk.
MGC says: "To remove port C6 from the dynamic trunk and return it to passive LACP, you would do the following:
#no interface c6 lacp
#interface c6 lacp passive
"
but issueing these commands returns:
sw1-2910-48(config)# no int 46,48 lacp
46: Operation is not allowed for a trunked port.
sw1-2910-48(config)# no int 46 lacp
46: Operation is not allowed for a trunked port.
sw1-2910-48(config)# no int 48 lacp
48: Operation is not allowed for a trunked port.
sw1-2910-48(config)#

sw1-2910-48(config)# sh lacp

LACP

It was too late when I read in MGC:"If you want to use LACP for a trunk on a non-default VLAN and GVRP is disabled (this is my case - las), configure the trunk as a static trunk"

sw1-2910-48(config)# sh vlan 1

a piece of related 2910al config:

Secondary 2910al shows the same output

sw2-2910-48(config)# sh lacp

Config of sw2 is similar.

==========================
How to fix it?
How to remove dynamic LACP group?

Hi Alexey

You need to disconnect the port currently active in the trunk before you can issue the commands.

If you would be allowed to disable LACP on an active trunk, it would immediately create a loop.

All the genious things are simple.

Exactly as you wrote.

I think HP should add warning in their docs to prevent user's brain damage :) Now, there is not a word about possible problems when dismounting trunk group.

It would be nice if warning message in firmware would printed on console. Something like : "To prevent loops physically disconnect port to be removed from trunk group"

Thank you very much.

I make static trunk, tag it for VLAN, and everything is OK now.

Hi,

I know this is an old post, but I think I found a workaround if somebody still has the same issue. At least on an HPE 2910al switch running ProVision/Aruba-OS version W.14.03, this command is not working as expected:

no interface <port-list> lacp

However, if you log in to the switch via its web interface (you should do it from a web browser that supports an old Java version, for example, Internet Explorer 8 with Java version 1.6.0_23), you can go in the top menu to Configuration > Port Configuration, select the ports that are part of the Link-Aggregation (called Trunk in ProVision/Aruba-OS), click "Modify Ports", on the "Trunk Type" drop-down menu select "None", on the "Trunk Group" drop-down menu select "None", and click "Apply Settings"

You can then go back to the CLI, and use this command to verify that the physical ports are  not part of the Link-Aggregation (Trunks) anymore:

show lacp

And then do not forget to save the configuration with the write memory command
