i have configured port channel on my cisco and extreme switch but when i connect the interfaces the port channel doesnt come up not sure what i am doing wrong here. please see configuration

Hi Lutha,

you should verify that the links are connected the way you want. You could enable LLDP on both the Cisco and Extreme switches, enable just one of the links, and then verify LLDP neighbors on both switches, and verify LACP information received on both switches.

Then you disable this port again and enable the other port. There you perform the same checks.

After that you closely examine the the LLDP and LACP information, as well as the logs of both switches, if everything is OK.

Since you seem to be using STP, you should verify STP operation as well.

Your configuration looks OK on first glance, I have not yet experienced problems with LACP between Cisco IOS and EXOS switches. Thus I'd say you need to dig deeper to find the root cause.

Thanks,
Erik

Hi Lutha

This is what i have on my switches and the port channel works

on cisco side:
interface Port-channel20 description SCPDA010200 switchport switchport trunk native vlan 999 switchport trunk allowed vlan 100,113,201,300,400,501,601,613,1000,1200 switchport mode trunk logging event link-status storm-control broadcast include multicast storm-control broadcast level 2.00 spanning-tree guard loop ip dhcp snooping trust end interface TenGigabitEthernet1/14

end interface TenGigabitEthernet1/13
description SCPDAA010200 2:49
switchport trunk native vlan 999
switchport trunk allowed vlan 100,113,201,300,400,501,601,613,1000,1200
switchport mode trunk
logging event link-status
storm-control broadcast include multicast
storm-control broadcast level 2.00
channel-group 20 mode active
spanning-tree guard loop
ip dhcp snooping trust
end
on Extreme side:
enable sharing 2:49 grouping 2:49,3:49 algorithm address-based L2 lacp If you are using fiber you should configure the guard loop also by default on MSTP and RSTP the link types are point-to-point.

Hope this helps

Since the switches slow down after activating both links there seems to be a significant problem, thus if you try to use a static LAG, you would probably make the situation worse.

Is there another method of acheiving this between cisco and extreme
