Help connected Netgear Prosafe M7100-24X - ProSafe 24-port 10G Port-Channel With Cisco Nexus 7000

Hii,

 

Im not used to using netgear, because i only have experience with cisco.

 

I have netgear M7100-24X 24 port, and connected with cisco 2 Nexus 7000.

I configure the netgear to nexus using port-channel with 2 link, 1 to N7000_A and one to N7000_B.

 

The problem is, at the netgear its only show only 1 port Up, eventhough i choose LAG, with port 0/23 and 0/24, but only port 0/23 came up.

 

at the netgear, i choose LAG with untagged only 1 vlan (vlan 44),

at cisco, i choose Access Mode with allowed vlan 44, and using port-channel 1 

 

Can you guys helm me to solved my problem, i just wanna this 2 link netgear to the cisco is UP

    Hii Atian,

     

    No, 1 Lag is fine, i already solved this problem :) 

     

    My netgear M7100 have 2port 10G connection through nexus700_1 and 2 10G connection to nexus7000_2 and its all at LAG_1. The problem is, i should activated the vpc at port-channel at nexus7000_1 and Nexus7000_2.... (doooohh this is my bad how do i miss something like this >.< )

     

    So this case is closed, I now have 40G logical connection using LAG_1 at netgear to cisco Nexus7000_1 and Nexus7000_2

    Im using 1 Lag at Netgear M7100 who is connected to both cisco nexus7000.

     

    At nexus7000, just create port-channel and vpc for that connection (this is i forgot, adding vpc to port-channel netgear at nexus >.< )

     

    Its SOLVED :)

     

    Thanx DaneA for all your support, without your help i cannot find what is i miss ^.^

     

    Regards,

    Hi bengkyo,

     

    Welcome to the community! :) 

     

    I believe setting up LAG the way you want to configure is not the correct way.  Kindly access and read the article below then use it as reference guide i setting up LAG on the M7100-24X switch.

     

    How to Configure LAG between two NETGEAR managed switches

     

    I believe this link I found online would be helpful as well.

      Hii DaneA,

       

      Thanx for the reply, i already read the pdf file you mention it, and already follow the instruction before i post in here, it still have only 1 interface UP to my cisco.

       

      I followed the instruction on link above too, netgear with cisco, and still only 1 active, the other link standby.

       

      Is there any suggestion ?

        Hi bengkyo,

         

        From your initial post, what I have understand is that you want to set up LAG between the M7100-24X switch and two Cisco Nexus 7000 switches wherein you have selected ports 23 and 24 of the M7100-24X switch. Port 23 of the M7100-24X switch is connected to one Cisco Nexus 7000 switch (N7000_A) and port 24 of the M7100-24X switch is connected to the other Cisco Nexus 7000 switch (N7000_B).  This is how you want to set up, am I correct? 

         

        If ever I am correct, then the way you want to set up LAG between the M7100-24X switch and two Cisco Nexus 7000 switches is wrong.  It should be this way: for example, ports 23 and 24 of the M7100-24X switch should be connected to ports 23 and 24 of one Cisco Nexus 7000 switch (N7000_A) then ports 21 and 22 of the M7100-24X switch should be connected to ports 21 and 22 of the other Cisco Nexus 7000 switch (N7000_B).
