3 port lag question.

We have 3 of those swit hes in a stack.

 

I have a lag set up using 1/0/11, 2/0/11, 3/0/11

 

at switching >  lag configuration 2 ports are active and lag state is UP

 

the target switch is a M4100-50G-POE+ .    hash type for lag = 6 .

 

the lag works for ports 1/0/11 and 2/0/11  .

 

when I move one of the patch cables to  3/0/11  , the port does not lite up.

 

here is more info:

interface 1/0/11
addport lag 11
exit

interface 2/0/11
addport lag 11
exit

interface 3/0/11
addport lag 11
exit
...

interface lag 11
auto-voip protocol-based
port-channel load-balance 6
dhcp l2relay
mtu 9216
vlan pvid 8



 

 

Should we be able to use 3 ports on a lag?

 

And if so any hints on what to check for?

 

regards

Roberto

    Ok, I known your concern.

    Could you please change port-channel load-balance to default 3, and try again?

  • here is more info:

     

    at System>Stacking>Stack Configuration the 3RD switch has 'Standby Status'  as 'Opr Standby' .

     

    the other two switches Standby Status = none .

     

    I wonder if that is causing an the issue with 3RD port not working?
