Port Channel

Hi all,
        Got a query
I have got following command configured under two interfaces connected to WLC distribution ports
gi1/2
qos vlan-based
gi1/3
qos vlan-based
I have a port-channel configured for both gi1/2 and gi1/3
Do I need to configure qos vlan-based under port-channel as well?

Typically you just need to define QoS on the physical port and not the port channel.
Thanks,
Scott

  • Right way of configuring higher MTU over a Port Channel

    Hi guys,
    I have a running critical Port-Channel between two locations.
    Here's the config
    SW1:
    interface Port-channel2
     switchport
     switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
     switchport mode trunk
    end
    interface GigabitEthernet1/45
     switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
     switchport mode trunk
     channel-protocol lacp
     channel-group 2 mode active
    end
    interface GigabitEthernet1/46
     switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
     switchport mode trunk
     channel-protocol lacp
     channel-group 2 mode active
    end
    SW2
    interface GigabitEthernet1/1
     switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
     switchport mode trunk
     channel-protocol lacp
     channel-group 2 mode passive
    end
    interface GigabitEthernet1/2
     switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
     switchport mode trunk
     channel-protocol lacp
     channel-group 2 mode passive
    end
    interface Port-channel2
     switchport
     switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
     switchport mode trunk
    end
    Now I need to increase the MTU from default value to 9198. What the right way to do it and avoid any connectivity loss, PortChannel restart.
    Does it matter what switch I start first?
    Thanks!
    L.E. both SW are WS-C4948

    Hi,
    Because you are using layer 2 interfaces - there is no fragmentation support at layer 2, and interfaces receiving frames which have an unsupported size will be dropped.
    I think the best way for you to proceed is to lab this up; and verify what happens - it may be that you need to make changes on switches at either end of the channel within a very short time frame to prevent too large an outage.
     When you are ready to maike your change - think the best way to do this is to use the interface range command, and apply the 'mtu' command to all the interfaces in this range. I don't think it matters which switch you apply this change to first, and I don't believe if you are hinting at the 802.3ad (controlled by system-priority) decision maker, that it makes any difference.

  • How to configure a port channel with VLAN trunking (and make it work..)

    We're trying to configure a port channel group with trunked ports to connect a NetApp HA pair. We want to create two data LIFs and connect them to the switch stack.  We are trying to create 2 data lifs, one for cifs and one for nfs that are on different vlans.
    We want the same ports to be able to allow multiple vlans to communicate. (trunked)
    These data lifs should be able to fail over to different nodes in the HA pair and still be able to communicate on the network.
    What this means is that we have to connect 4 ports each for each node in the NetApp HA Pair to the switches and create a port channel of some type that allows for trunked vlans. When we configure the ports, the configuration is as follows (below):
    We are only able to configure an IP on one of the vlans.
    When we configure an IP from another vlan for the data lif, it does not respond to a ping.
    Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong on the Cisco switch?

    Our problem was fixed by the storage people.  They changed the server end to trunk, and the encapsulation / etherchannel.
    I like all the suggestions, and they probably helped out with the configuration getting this to work.

  • Disappointed: ASA 8.4 Redundant using Port-channels

    So I finally got all our ASAs upgrade to version 8.4 and was all sorts of excited to configure port-channels to our 6500 + SUP7203B switches.  I was severally disappointed to discover that I cannot configure two port-channels and have them be members of a redundant interface pair.  It would seem like a logical topology.
    Port-channel1 = Gig0/0 & Gig0/1
    Port-channel2 = Gig0/2 & Gig0/3
    Redundant1 = Port-channel1 & Port-channel2
    Port-channel1 would connect to the primary 6500
    Port-channel2 would connect to the backup 6500
    What would it take to make this work?  Am I going to have to wait for 8.5?  Will we finally get BGP then too? (Had to get that in there)

    EtherChannel Guidelines
    •You can configure up to 48 EtherChannels.
    •Each channel group can have eight active interfaces. Note that you can assign up to 16 interfaces to a channel group. While only eight interfaces can be active, the remaining interfaces can act as standby links in case of interface failure.
    •All interfaces in the channel group must be the same type and speed. The first interface added to the channel group determines the correct type and speed.
    •The device to which you connect the ASA 5500 EtherChannel must also support 802.3ad EtherChannels; for example, you can connect to the Catalyst 6500 switch.
    •All ASA configuration refers to the logical EtherChannel interface instead of the member physical interfaces.
    •You cannot use a redundant interface as part of an EtherChannel, nor can you use an EtherChannel as part of a redundant interface. You cannot use the same physical interfaces in a redundant interface and an EtherChannel interface. You can, however, configure both types on the ASA if they do not use the same physical interfaces.

    Hello Yaplej,
    Agree with you but unfortunetly this is not supported yet,
    We migh need to wait some time before this desing can be accomplish,

  • ASA 5585 port-channels

    I want to create a port-channel with 2 10Gbs interfaces on 2 ASA 5585 firewalls, and set them up in a failover pair.
    In order to do this, do I simply put two 10Gbs interfaces into a channel and then configure the IP addressing and failover address on the logical port-channel interface? (aka interface po1).
    Any limitations with this?

    Yes, that is exactly what you do..
    Create portchannel on switch and ASA
    Trunk the vlan on switch side
    Create logical interfaces on ASA

  • Port-channel question on 9148

    hey I have a question about  port-channel.

    my question is how the port-channel associated with the servers?  I mean the output "sh flogi database" as below........
    do we need to add port-channel as a zone member ? I think the answer is no since I don;t see the port-channel as a zone member....

    I think what you do is F-Port trunking channeling !
    port-channel as a zone member ? I assume you will do pwwn based zoning; in which case the answer is NO !

  • SAN Switch 9148 UPG procedure when using Port Channel

    Hi,
    I am kind of new to the UPG procedure of Cisco Switch, and the customer i am working with is using Port Channel.
    Do i have to shutdown the port channel before executing the switch UPG or if everything can stay up?  Will i lose connection when the UPG will proceed ?
    If anyone has some documentation that describe the process, it would be much appreciated.
    Thank you

  • Dlsw using port channel

    I have 2 dlsw router at head quater office, named dlswA and dlswB.
    From branches router, dlswA is a primary peer and dlswB is a backup peer.
    Both dlswA and B have 2 fast ethernet interfaces.
    The current configuration of dlswA and dlswB are 1 port as IP port and other port as sna/bridge port.
    With this configuration the problem is when SNA port at dlswA problem, then dlsw circuit will have the problem, because dlsw peer from branches still connected to dlswA.
    if I configure 2 fast ethernet port become a port channel. And configure IP and bridge group at port channel interface (IP and SNA at the same interfaces), so when the port channel is down, then branches will connect to dlswB as a backup peer
    Are the port channel configuration will solve the problem ? How about the stability of this configuration?

    Thank Matthias for your reply.
    Both of head end routers are on the same vlan and the host is using same mac address.
    As far as i know if from branch have 2 active peer with cost setup, there will loops posibility because both head end routers are using ethernet with same vlan and same host mac address.
    I test the port channel within my LAB using netbios, seem works as expected. when single port at port channel down, branch circuit still remain at dlswA router, when all port channel member down, the branch peering move to dlswB.
    Here are the config:
    hostname dlswA
    dlsw local-peer peer-id 192.168.255.1 promiscuous
    dlsw bridge-group 1

  • Design help related to ACE to Switch connectivity using Port-Channel

    Hi,
    I have a Cisco ACE 4710 configured in One-Arm mode. This ACE is getting connected with 2 3750 switches. These 2 3750 switches connected in trunk mode.
    ACE is connected to these 3750 switches using Port-channel.

    The problem is that 3750 switches are not stacked.
    Application is working fine. But i am getting a lot of MAC flapping messages..
    kindly suggest whether this design is OK or something needs to be done to rectify it...
    Attached a small diagram..

    Hello acharyr123,
    I don't think this design is ok, and it would cause mac flapping since the two indepedendent 3750 switches will learn the ace mac addresses off of two different interfaces.  The 3750s would have to be stacked so that they would act as one switch then this should work correctly.
    Thanks

  • Interfaces in port-channel keep err-disabling because of keepalives

    Below is the current portchannel that I am having problems with.  The interfaces on Switch A keep going into an error disabled state because they receive their own loopback.  Cisco says to disable keepalives and that it will fix the problem, but I do not like the idea of disabling keepalives.  Has anyone found a solution other than disabling keepalives?  Notice that ios's are different, but am not convinced that this is the issue.  Also one is PoE and the other isn't.  Lastly, i found this article "Keepalives are sent on all interfaces by default in Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1EA-based software. In Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2SE-based software and later, keepalives are not sent by default on fiber and uplink interfaces".  I would think trunked interfaces in a port-channel would be uplink interfaces and if this is true, it should be sending out keepalives anyway since i am running the 12.2SE based ios.  Thanks for whatever input you may have.

    PER CISCO
    Symptom:
    An interface on a Catalyst switch is errordisabled after detecting a loopback.
    Mar 7 03:20:40: %ETHCNTR-3-LOOP_BACK_DETECTED: Loop-back detected on
    GigabitEthernet0/2. The port is forced to linkdown.
    Mar 7 03:20:42: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface GigabitEthernet0/2, changed state
    to administratively down
    Mar 7 03:20:43: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface
    GigabitEthernet0/2, changed state to down
    Conditions:
    This might be seen on a Catalyst 2940, 2950, 2950-LRE, 2955, 2970, 3550, 3560
    or 3750 switch running 12.1EA or 12.2SE based code.
    Workaround:
    Disable keepalives by using the no keepalive interface command. This
    will prevent the port from being errdisabled, but it does not resolve the root
    cause of the problem. Please see section below for more information.
    Additional Information:
    The problem occurs because the keepalive packet is looped back to the port that
    sent the keepalive. There is a loop in the network. Although disabling the
    keepalive will prevent the interface from being errdisabled, it will not remove
    the loop.
    The problem is aggravated if there are a large number of Topology Change
    Notifications on the network. When a switch receives a BPDU with the Topology
    Change bit set, the switch will fast age the MAC Address table. When this
    happens, the number of flooded packets increases because the MAC Address table
    is empty.

  • MDS switch: DCNM: Is there a way to monitor the traffic on every port within a port channel using DCNM?

    I am trying to monitor the load on an 8 port ISL between 2 MDS FC switches, on DCNM. 
    Since it is a plain trunk link, I am able to monitor the stats of every ISL port individually. 
    My question is, since port channel shows up as a single interface on DCNM, is there  a way to monitor the per port utilization in that port channel?

    Thanks for the update! If anyone else has the same question, the answer is that in order to extract the bus log information in the TDMS file, you should use the DIAdem Bus Log Converter tool. It is expected (though confusing) that the file looks mostly empty in the Data Portal until you use this tool to extract the information.
    Also, this is a fantastic tutorial from a very bright engineer on how to correlate data from multiple sources, such as raw frame files, in DIAdem. Highly recommended reading. It also has some data on the bus log converter.

  • FWSM Default port channel?

    I'm doing some L2 cleanups across mutliple 6509E environments and I've found something consistent that I can't find in documentation.
    On all my pairs of 6509s where I have FWSMs bundled (6509-A has FWSM-1 is Slot 1 and 6509-B has FWSM-2 in Slot 1) I also have a port channel 305. Obviously when I do a "show run" or "show int desc" I don't see anything in slot one. It's a service module. But the port channel is referencing ports 1/1-6. And it's all in service/up. I was about to delete this as I thought it was some leftover config (TEST 6509s) until I went and saw the same things on our PROD 6509s. Can anyone explain this or provide some documentation on it? Is it cosmetic? Necessary? Can I delete it as part of my audit cleanup? Don't want to mess with it even in TEST without some information. Nothing on google that's clear and I can't find anything on CCO.

  • Nexus 7010 port-channel to ESXi host running on Dell 910 and 810

    Was wondering has anyone had any experience with configuring a port-channel going back to ESXi host. My basic config is below. My issue is with what to put in the spanning-tree port type. Do I use normal, edge, network, or edge trunk?? Yes I have read most of the documentation out there but am just a lil confused. I just wanna be right.
    Also if anyone has any suggestions for the Vswitch config as well that would be much appreciated.

      switchport trunk allowed vlan add 420,777
      spanning-tree port type normal (what should go here)

    int e10/11
    desc 01_6-1
    channel-group 201 force
    Thanks Guys

    Short answer: You could use spanning tree port type edge (trunk; if it's going to be a trunk). The vswitch isn't really a switch, it doesn't participate in spanning tree, so it's fine to make it an edge port.
    In my experience, many VMware guys don't like port channels as much as the other more host-centric NIC teaming methods. I think this has to do with ESX having a less than stellar implementation of etherchannel/LACP early on.

  • Sg300-28 port-channel options

    i have an sg300-28 running the latest firmware, and would like some insight on port-channel options.  below are the port configs i have for a LAG to my router.  i am currently using 802.3ad with LACP.  my router is a linux machine pulling duty as a basic (no dynamic routing) router, firewall and internet gateway.  the bonding options on the routers side explained at
    http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/System_Administrators_Guide/sec-Using_Channel_Bonding.html.  the mode is 4 or 802.3ad and the xmit_hash_policy is 2 or layer2+3.  i also have 2 servers setup in a similar fashion with 2 interfaces in a LAG.
    when i run a bandwidth test, iperf, between the two servers, i only get 900+ mbps which indicates that the GB ports are running fine.  this also indicates to me that the traffic is not being "striped" across the port-channeled interfaces, thereby giving me the aggregated bandwidth of all interfaces in the LAG.  i have found no options to use the balance-xor mode to create port-channels, which as i understand it, would aggregate the total bandwidth of all interfaces in the LAG.  is the sg300 capable of creating a LAG that will combine the throughput of all the members of the LAG?  for example, create a 2 GB pipe when 2 interfaces are port-channeled?  is the balance-xor mode what would do this (regardless of the sg300's ability to do this)

    Hi Brendan,
    You said "i only get 900+ mbps which indicates that the GB ports are running fine.  this also indicates to me that the traffic is not being "striped" across the port-channeled interfaces, thereby giving me the aggregated bandwidth of all interfaces in the LAG.  i have found no options to use the balance-xor mode to create port-channels, which as i understand it, would aggregate the total bandwidth of all interfaces in the LAG."
    As the Admin guide says on page 130, http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/csbms/sf30x_sg30x/administration_guide/78-19308-01.pdf
    Load Balancing
    Traffic forwarded to a LAG is load-balanced across the active member ports, thus achieving an effective bandwidth close to the aggregate bandwidth of all the active member ports of the LAG.
    Traffic load balancing over the active member ports of a LAG is managed by a hash-based distribution function that distributes Unicast and Multicast traffic based on Layer 2 or Layer 3 packet header information.
    The switch supports two modes of load balancing:
    By MAC Addresses—Based on the destination and source MAC addresses of all packets.
    By IP and MAC Addresses—Based on the destination and source IP addresses for IP packets, and destination and source MAC addresses for
    non-IP packets.
       So,  an IP host running running IPERF maybe checking unicast throughput between the two IP hosts.  There will be a Source and Desination IP address in that test.  The switch will direct the traffic over one of the LAG port members .  It wont Round robin the unicast traffic over multiple LAG ports, if the Source and Desination IP address of the traffic is the same.  .
    If the  PC  running IPerf,  had  another concurrent IPerf session to another or different IP host, the hash algorithm on the switch may direct that stream , maybe, over a different physical LAG interface.
    So your comment about  achieving  900+mbps  sounds normal   Yes LAG spreads the load, the benefit comes when lots of hosts on  both sides of the switches.
    You hay find with just two hosts on either side of a LAG, that the switch may run the traffic between two hosts over just one member of the LAG group.
    regards Dave

  • OSPF load balancing across multiple port channels

    I have googled/searched for this everywhere but haven't been able to find a solution. Forgive me if I leave something out but I will try to convey all relevant information. Hopefully someone can provide some insight and many thanks in advance.
    I have three switches (A, B, and C) that are all running OSPF and LACP port channelling among themselves on a production network. Each port channel interface contains two physical interfaces and trunks a single vlan (so a vlan connecting each switch over a port channel). OSPF is running on each vlan interface.
    Switch A - ME3600
    Switch B - 3550
    Switch C - 3560G
    This is just a small part of a much larger topology. This part forms a triangle, if you will, where A is the source and C is the destination. A and C connect directly via a port channel and are OSPF neighbors. A and B connect directly via a port channel and are OSPF neighbors. B and C connect directly via a port channel and are OSPF neighbors. Currently, all traffic from A to C traverses B. I would like to load balance traffic sourced from A with a destination of C on the direct link and on the links through B. If all traffic is passed through B, traffic is evenly split on the two interfaces on the port channel. If all traffic is pushed onto the direct A-C link, traffic is evenly balanced on the two interfaces on that port channel. If OSPF load balancing is configured on the two vlans from A (so A-C and A-B), the traffic is divided to each port channel but only one port on each port channel is utilized while the other one passes nothing. So half of each port channel remains unused. The port channel on B-C continues to load balance, evenly splitting the traffic received from half of the port channel from A.
    A and C port channel load balancing is configured for src-dst-ip. B is a 3550 and does not have this option, so it is set to src-mac.
    Relevant configuration:
    Switch A:
    interface Port-channel1

    This is more FYI. 10.82.4.0/24 is a subnet on switch C. The path to it is split across vlans 10 and 11 but once it hits the port channel interfaces only one side of each is chosen. I'd like to avoid creating more vlan interfaces but right now that appears to be the only way to load balance equally across the four interfaces out of switch A.
