Hello all.
This is fifth day that I'm trying to solve how to correct configure vmware and cisco vss with lacp. (Previously I tried to use etherchannel with the same effect) Also other LACP groups (not with vmware works perfectely on this vss switches.
I configured two channel-groups for each server connected to cisco and when I enable interfaces in this groups on second standby switch, I loose connectivity to one of the virtual machines, I can connect to it from one server but not from another so lacp not working as expected.
What i missed in configuration. Any help will be very helpful. Below my configuration.
So I have cisco 4500x in vss configuration with vsl links (Active/Standby), I configured port-channels and aggregate two pairs of interfaces with corresponding channel-groups for hosts connected to them:
interface Port-channel5
switchport
switchport trunk allowed vlan 200
switchport mode trunk
mtu 9000
spanning-tree portfast trunk
spanning-tree bpduguard enable
!
interface Port-channel7
switchport
switchport trunk allowed vlan 200
switchport mode trunk
mtu 9000
spanning-tree portfast trunk
spanning-tree bpduguard enable
interface TenGigabitEthernet1/1/5
description dell1.eth1
switchport trunk allowed vlan 200
switchport mode trunk
mtu 9000
channel-protocol lacp
channel-group 5 mode active
spanning-tree portfast trunk
spanning-tree bpduguard enable
interface TenGigabitEthernet1/1/7
description dell2.eth1
switchport trunk allowed vlan 200
switchport mode trunk
mtu 9000
channel-protocol lacp
channel-group 7 mode active
spanning-tree portfast trunk
spanning-tree bpduguard enable
interface TenGigabitEthernet2/1/5
description dell1.eth2
switchport trunk allowed vlan 200
switchport mode trunk
mtu 9000
shutdown
channel-protocol lacp
channel-group 5 mode active
spanning-tree portfast trunk
spanning-tree bpduguard enable
interface TenGigabitEthernet2/1/7
description dell2.eth2
switchport trunk allowed vlan 200
switchport mode trunk
mtu 9000
shutdown
channel-protocol lacp
channel-group 7 mode active
spanning-tree portfast trunk
spanning-tree bpduguard enable
When ports enabled I get the following status for the ports:
Te1/1/5 dell1.eth1 connected trunk full a-1000 1000BaseT
Te1/1/7 dell2.eth1 connected trunk full a-1000 1000BaseT
Te2/1/5 dell1.eth2 connected trunk full a-1000 1000BaseT
Te2/1/7 dell2.eth2 connected trunk full a-1000 1000BaseT
Po5 connected trunk a-full a-1000
Po7 connected trunk a-full a-1000
Also I have two hosts with esxi 6.5, and there I configured vDS with LACP group
here is LAG config:
both hosts connected to upstream switch with LAG
host1:
host2:
Portgroup:
And some outputs from esxi state lacp:
and also question why Admin Key and Oper Key the same on differents hosts in LACP group?
