Procurve 2910al-24G - Link Aggregation

[greatbaybud]

In my Cisco switch 2960S-48TS-L here's my config:
==--==
TELNET 192.168.1.247
Ports 25, 26, 27, 28
config t
vlan 15
name vlan15

vlan 16
name vlan16
interface Vlan15
description iSCSI for NetApp
ip address 10.10.15.10 255.255.255.0

interface Vlan16
description nfs for NetApp
ip address 10.10.16.10 255.255.255.0
exit

config t
int Port-channel1
switchport mode trunk

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/25
description NetApp e0a Trunk
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode active
exit

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/26
description NetApp e0a Trunk
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode active
exit

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/27
description NetApp e0a Trunk
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode active
exit

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/28
description NetApp e0a Trunk
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode active
end
==--==
IT WORKS! In cisco.

However, we just purhcased two HP 2910al-24 switches.

How do I do the same in these switches? It just not working.

How does VLAN work in HP switches.
Tagged, untagged works differently in HP. It's like the opposite.


Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

cisco trunk = procurve tagged link

cisco port channel = procurve trunk

1/ link-aggregation

 # define port channel (trk1 is channel id, locally significant, does not need to match remote side), use lacp (cisco mode active)

trunk 1,2 trk1 lacp

 # verify config

show trunk

 # verify lacp status (success)

show lacp

2/ vlans

 # ports must be added to vlan (vlans not configured on port). Cisco native vlan = Procurve untagged vlan

 # no need to add physical members of trk1, procurve only allows you to add trk interface to vlans (so no mismatch possible between physical port and channel port vlan config)

# by default trk1 is a NEW interface, so untagged in vlan 1:

show vlan port trk1 detail

# add tagged vlans (like cisco permit vlan list)

vlan 15

 name xxx

 tag trk1

vlan 16

 name xxx

 tag trk1

# verify

show vlan port trk1 detail

# once vlans have been added, the untagged can be removed if you want (not recommended with cisco)

vlan 1

 no untag trk1

# remember basic vlan rules per port (on procurve):

* port must have minimum 1 vlan (either tagged or untagged)

* port can have at most 1 untagged vlan

Hope this works for you,

Best regards,Peter

[Peter_Debruyne]

ok, hold on. I have the impression there is a mix of L2 and L3 issues.

It seems the link-agg is working fine, but when you test from the switch, it requires IP interfaces or IP routes to the destinations.

So from the last message it is difficult to understand which device/ip is located on which switch/side in your network.

Questions I would have would be :

* is this trunk used between the switches or between the switch and the netapp ?

* have you placed end-points in the vlan 15 to test the pings ?

vlan 15

 untag testport

 # configure pc with fixed IP in subnet and test destination

 # ping to both switch ips

[greatbaybud]

Questions I would have would be :

* is this trunk used between the switches or between the switch and the netapp ?
This trunk is directly connected to the NetApp device (Storage Controller). The way I had it with the Cisco 2960 switch.
NetApp Storage Controller Ports e0a, e0b, e0c, e0d (10.10.15.132)
Hp 2910al-24G Port 7, 8, 9, 10 (vlan 15 - 10.10.15.10)
Hp 2910al-24G Port 7, 8, 9, 10 (vlan 16 - 10.10.16.10)

* have you placed end-points in the vlan 15 to test the pings ?
Yes, I have. A laptop on port 11 with IP address 10.10.15.209
HP2910al106# config t
HP2910al106(config)# vlan 15
HP2910al106(vlan-15)# untag 11

However, I still can not ping 10.10.15.132 (VLAN15 - netapp iscsi)
HP2910al106# ping 10.10.15.209

HP2910al106#

Now it's timing out. Very strange.

OK, wait a minute. From the laptop (10.10.15.209) I can ping vlan 15 (10.10.15.10)

Very strange.

Anyways, I first want to get the link aggregation to work on ports 7, 8, 9 and 10.

Ok, here's what I did:

config t
vlan 2
name "vlan2"
ip helper-address 192.168.1.14
tagged 24-A1,B1,Trk1
no ip address
exit

I plugged in the same laptop, this time 192.168.2.249.

Vlan2 is on my production network.

I'm able to ping the laptop anywhere on the network. This is good:)

However, from within the switch I'm unable to ping 10.10.15.132

I need Vlan2, 15 and 16 in the trunk group.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP PETE.

[yunkyguy]

Hi Team,

I have a L3 2910al switch installed on production. Having 4-5 ports are free. Can you please help to enable LACP on the same.

Briefing : I have to enable Lacp and configure two ports with same IP address so ease to load split and work in active active as one port failure.

For further assistance can you please reach me @9654823451 so ease to explain in detail iff feasible

Thanks in advance!
