Ping not working in HPE Aruba 2930F with Openflow aggregate mode enabled

[skyfather37]

I have an HPE Aruba 2930F JL259A switch which is used to try out SDN related experiments. But after the aggregate mode instance is enabled , the ping command does not work. It results in "Request timeout out" response.

I'm using the RYU controller, and the initial handshake connection and configuration from the RYU side with switch seems to working correctly.

Any idea/suggestion as to why this is happening and what can be done would be really helpful, thanks!
