Error: Load sharing cannnot be enabled on ports

Hi,

I have a 3 slot switch stack of X460G2-48p-10G4 switches. On this stack, ports 1:50 & 3:50 were shared so that there would be a connection to each of our two core routers.

I removed slots 2 & 3 from the stack this morning. I wanted to reconfigure port sharing so that I can have 1:50 connect to one of our core switches, and 1:52 connect to the other core switch.

The current port sharing configuration is:
enable sharing 1:50 grouping 1:50 algorithm address-based L3_L4 lacp

When I ran the command to add port 1:52 to the port sharing group, I received an error I am not understanding:

Slot-1 SH-460-1 # configure sharing 1:50 add ports 1:52
Error: Load sharing cannnot be enabled on ports (1:52) configured for Policy Convergence-Endpoint (convergence-endpoint) or Admin Profile (admin-profile) rules

The switch is running EXOS 32.5.1.5

Any insight or assistance with this error would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You should probably upgrade to 32.7.1.9-patch1-68 first. If you don't use the features, you can disable them:

configure policy convergence-endpoint disable

unconfigure policy rule admin-profile port 1:52

If you cannot do that and need to work around the problem, I'd do this:

Create a LAG with 1:52 as master, identical to the old one

Move the connection from 1:50 to 1:52

Remove the 1:50 LAG

Add 1:50 to the 1:52 LAG

Hopefully that will help.

FYI, here is the solution that fixed our issue:

unconfigure netlogin port 1:52 allowed-users
unconfigure netlogin port 1:52 authentication mode
unconfigure netlogin port 1:52
unconfigure policy rule admin-profile port 1:52 port-string 1:52
