Unable to add ports to LAG

Hi,

 

I couldn't find any similar discussion. That's why I am asking.

I have succeeded with setting up link aggregation using HP 5800AF, Allied Telesis CentreCom GS908M, Switch Blade x908, CentreCom x210 before. I think I have enough background for handing network devices.

 

All I want to do is just to set up two LAN ports in link aggregation and connect M7100-24X and Allied Telesis CentreCom GS908M. The situation is that they are connected already with a single cable without LAG setting.

However when I add any port into a lag in GUI of M7100-24X, the connectivity between them becomes unpingable. I assume there might be something wrong settings in M7100-24X because I have succeeded with setting of connecting CentreCom GS908M with HP 5800AF through link aggregation.

 

I wish someone can give me any advice of the configuration of M7100-24X.

Here is the information below.

Firmware version: 11.0.0.18

Ports to add: 0/17 and 0/18

  • Hi Akira,

     

    Please try to configure same VLAN setting on LAG not only the physical port.

    Actually the configuration only effect on LAG when physical port added into LAG.

    Such as:

    configure same VLAN PVID/VLAN member/VLAN Tag For the LAG which port 17/18 will add into.

    Hi akira168,

     

    Welcome to the community! :) 

     

    Kindly answer the questions below. 

     

    a.  Are ports 17 & 18 set as tagged (T) ports on VLAN 2004 and VLAN 3088? 

    b. Since you have set LACP (static mode disabled), is this also the same LAG settings configured on the Allied Telesis CentreCom GS908M?  Kindly check and compare the Hash mode as well on the M7100-24X and Allied Telesis CentreCom GS908M switches.

    c. Have you tried to reboot both switches and check if the LAG state shows Up?

     

     

    Regards,

      Hi DaneA,

       

      Thank you for your replying.

       

       

      1. Are ports 17 & 18 set as tagged (T) ports on VLAN 2004 and VLAN 3088?

       

      Correct.

       

      1. Since you have set LACP (static mode disabled), is this also the same LAG settings configured on the Allied Telesis CentreCom GS908M? Kindly check and compare the Hash mode as well on the M7100-24X and Allied Telesis CentreCom GS908M switches.

       

      I have tried the both of disabled static mode and enable on M7100-24X. But no luck. Also I have tried all the 7 Hash modes. It is quite same. When I add the port into a LAG, the connectivity is lost. As reference, I copy and paste the configuration of Allied Telesis CentreCom GS908M below.

      Actually it is pinging without a LAG.

      1. Have you tried to reboot both switches and check if the LAG state shows Up?

       

      I can only reboot Allied Telesis CentreCom GS908M. It is very difficult to reboot M7100-24X because it is in production in our company.

       

      Best regards,

        akira168,

         

        I suggest you to update the firmware of the M7100-24X to v11.0.0.28.  Be sure to perform a factory reset on the M7100-24X then reconfigure it from scratch.  Let us know if the LAG will work between the M7100-24X and Allied Telesis CentreCom GS908M this time.

         

        You may download firmware v11.0.0.28 here.
