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 ...
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 ^.^

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).

Yes thats correct.

Thats mean I have 20G uplink on the each netgear to nexus, 40G the total uplink? I think its same, the different is im using 1 link to each nexus, i using this method to my all cisco device and its work. If 1 link can normaly connected, i think 2 link or more should be connected to, but in my case, its only 1 link who connected.
If there any STP config or the other config i miss?
Hi bengkyo,
The way you want to setup LAG between the M7100-24X switch and the two Cisco Nexus 7000 switches will never work because it defeats the purpose of having a LAG. You should consider my example to you from my previous response if you want to configure LAG properly between the M7100-24X switch and two Cisco Nexus 7000 switches.
Kindly access and read the article below:
What are Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) and how do they work with my managed switch?

Hii,
Lag at Netgear is the same as Port-Channel at cisco right?
So this is what you said :
Already do what you suggestion but the result is the same, only 2 link at Cisco_Nexus1 is up, the other 2 link through Cisco_Nexus2 is suspended. At NetGear its only 2 active port, the other 2 port is suspended to, as i mention before, i wanna 4 active port with 1 lag through 2 nexus, or 4 physical port as 1 logical port
Its about spanning-tree problem i think, thats why i said its the same result whereever i using 1 or 2 link as u mention.
