Cisco 3850 LACP to a HP 5920

[TimothySutton]

I cannot seem to get this working correctly. I am trying to get a Cisco 3850 to talking to a HP 5920 over LACP. When I go to ping between the two devices I get nothing. 

Cisco Configuration

interface Port-channel4
switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,51,400
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
no port-channel standalone-disable
spanning-tree bpdufilter enable
!
interface TenGigabitEthernet1/0/46
switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,51,400
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
no cdp enable
channel-protocol lacp
channel-group 4 mode active
spanning-tree bpdufilter enable
lacp rate fast

!

interface TenGigabitEthernet1/0/48

switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
no cdp enable

spanning-tree bpdufilter enable

HP Configuration

interface Bridge-Aggregation2
port link-type trunk
undo port trunk permit vlan 1
port trunk permit vlan 2 51 400
link-aggregation mode dynamic

interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/23
port link-mode bridge
port link-type trunk
undo port trunk permit vlan 1
port trunk permit vlan 2 51 400
lacp period short
port link-aggregation group 2

interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/24
port link-mode bridge
port link-type trunk
undo port trunk permit vlan 1
port trunk permit vlan 2 51 400
lacp period short

Any help would be great.

Timothy,

That looks good so far.  At least both ports on the 5920 are Selected.

On the 5920, you only configure the ports for the link-agg group and do all of the rest of the configuration through the bridge-agg interface.

What traffic are you trying to get through?  You have no IP address on the Bridge-agg interface but you do have VLANs configured.  Maybe put a temporary address on the bridge-agg to be able to ping it?

Why are you doing LACP short interval? 

Have you looked in the logbuffer... display logbuffer revese to see if there are any issues being reported?

Can you try to debug LACP to see if it says what the issue is with the Cisco?  From user lever, try debug link-aggregation lacp packet to see what is going on?  Do a terminal debug and terminal mon to see it on the console.

Regards,

David

If you're using TenGigabit (per second) interfaces Te1/0/46 and Te1/0/48 Cisco Switch side and Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/23 and Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/24 HPE Switch side...why the BW (BandWidth) parameter reports only 2 Gbps (it looks like you really aggregated two 1 Gbps physical ports - see the reference to 1000Mb/s reported for each Port Channel member port - instead of two 10 Gbps physical ports)?

Is all OK from physical cabling standpoint?

Involved physical interfaces are OK?

Edit:

A more reasonable show interfaces port-channel command involving a Port Channel with TenGigabit member port(s) should be like:

Note how the BW parameter is 10000000 Kbit/sec and the port-channel Member 0 reported speed is 10000Mb/s, that's because - in that particular example - the Port Channel had just one 10 Gbps member port active - specifically the Member 0 - and not two...as in your case.
