LACP will not enable

[Mike Waterhouse]

We are trying to setup an LACP trunk (active) between four ports (0/19-22) on a cisco catalyst 3650 switch and four ports (21-24) on a HP GbE2c Blade switch.

We have placed the following config on the cisco,


--------------------------SNIP------------------------
!
port-channel load-balance src-dst-ip
no file verify auto
spanning-tree mode pvst
spanning-tree extend system-id
!
vlan internal allocation policy ascending
!
interface Port-channel15
switchport access vlan 10
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode access
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode access
!

--------------------------SNIP------------------------
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/18
switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode access
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/19
switchport access vlan 10
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode access
channel-group 15 mode active
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/20
switchport access vlan 10
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode access
channel-group 15 mode active
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/21
switchport access vlan 10
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode access
channel-group 15 mode active
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/22
switchport access vlan 10
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode access
channel-group 15 mode active
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/23
switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode access
!

--------------------------SNIP------------------------

Where VLAN 10 is our production network

On the HP I have simply gone into the web interface and enabled LACP Active via. Config->Layer2->LACP on ports 21-24.

I plugged in the four ethernet cables and the cisco shows port 19 active but the others (20, 21 and 22) disabled (presumaby error disabled)

Anyone any ideas what Im doing wrong?

Thanks very much in advance for any replies!

can you put the output of the cli command

"/info/l2/lacp/dump"

on the forum.

the admin key is not equal.

From the nice manual :)

Configuring LACP
Use the following procedure to configure LACP for port 20 and port 21 to participate in link aggregation.
1. Set the LACP mode on port 20.
>> # /cfg/l2/lacp/port 20 (Select port 20)
>> LACP port 20# mode active (Set port 20 to LACP active mode)
2. Define the admin key on port 20. Only ports with the same admin key can form a LACP trunk group.
>> LACP port 20# adminkey 100 (Set port 20 adminkey to 100)
Current LACP port adminkey: 17
New pending LACP port adminkey: 100
3. Set the LACP mode on port 21.
>> # /cfg/l2/lacp/port 21 (Select port 21)
>> LACP port 21# mode active (Set port 21 to LACP active mode)
4. Define the admin key on port 21.
>> LACP port 21# adminkey 100 (Set port 21 adminkey to 100)
Current LACP port adminkey: 18
New pending LACP port adminkey: 100
5. Apply and verify the configuration.
>> LACP port 21# apply (Make your changes active)
>> LACP port 21# cur (View current trunking configuration)
6. Save your new configuration changes.
>> LACP port 21# save (Save for restore after reboot)

go to -> ports and trunking -> lacp -> Configuring LACP

Good luck

Thanks sooooo much for your reply... You hit the nail on the head. Sorry for wasting your time, I should have read the manual more thoroughly!
