Bridge_Aggregation and loop
Hi
I have 4(A,B,C,D say) HP_5900 Switch, Sw A & B are in Stack_1 and C&D are another Stack_2(IRF)
Now we need to make connectivity between Stack_Switch1(A&B) to Stack_2(C&D) for that 2 Bridge_Agg created (45 & 46) at both end and passing common Vlan(12) on all interface associated with Bridge_A(45&46)>>>>>Vlan_interface 12 is created and assign a /30 ip
will this scenario work, without any Port(Bre_AGG) blocking or this will create l2_loop,
what happen if "undo stp globle enable" used
=======================COnfigurtion of Stack1 is below_similar used at other end============
vlan 12
interface Vlan-interface12
ip address 10.19.27.66 255.255.255.252

interface Bridge-Aggregation45
port link-type trunk
undo port trunk permit vlan 1
port trunk permit vlan 12
link-aggregation mode dynamic
#
interface Bridge-Aggregation46
port link-type trunk
undo port trunk permit vlan 1
port trunk permit vlan 12
link-aggregation mode dynamic
#
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/45 & 2/0/45
port link-mode bridge
port link-type trunk
undo port trunk permit vlan 1
port trunk permit vlan 12
port link-aggregation group 45
#
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/46 & 2/0/46
port link-mode bridge
port link-type trunk
undo port trunk permit vlan 1
port trunk permit vlan 12
port link-aggregation group 46

Re: Bridge_Aggregation and loop
Two BAGGs (per IRF) interconnecting two different IRF deployments, both carrying the same VLANs, are going to form a loop...something to avoid.
Why two BAGGs? Why - instead - not using a single BAGG on each IRF deployment made of four member ports? that way you will have both IRF interconnected with four links all well distributed (link 1 from A to C, link 2 from A to D, link 3 from B to C and link 4 from B to D).

Re: Bridge_Aggregation and loop
Hi Parnassus
Thanks for your valuable reply
The scenario mention by me as above came from Planning team
we have testing above in lab with two BAGG with same VLAN
case 1:- when "STP global enable" we found that at one side 1 BAGGs are in ALT state>>>>that is OK and I was expecting the result result>>>>means STP is working properly
Case2:-BUT when we disable STP at one side by "undo STP global enable" >>>I was expected there should be loop>>>but result is different i.e we not notice any loop both the BAGGs working fine and Other side Both BAGGs are showing in forwarding state >>>>unable to find where is GAP, why loop is not created

Re: Bridge_Aggregation and loop
As Parnassus says, you should be creating one BAGG with all 4 ports in it.
Allowing STP to block ports is something you do when you don't have BAGG functionality.
As far as the loop not occurring goes - check your switch log when you make the second BAGG switchports active to see what's happening.
