Config Example LAG between C3 stack and summit X450-g2 MLAG

[Rien_Maurik]

Hello All

Does anyone have a good and stable config example for me to set up a lag of 4Gb (4x1Gb) between a C3 stack of 4 units and a MLag setup of 2 Summit X450-G2 switches?

The Mlag peering config of the X450-G2 is al ready running and stable, but I'm struggling with setting up a stable LAG with the C3 stack.

Hello Rien,

What IP address are you pinging? and which switch? Will it have to cross the ISC to get to this IP? Can you send a "show vlan" from both x450G2?

[Rien_Maurik]

When I take out the uplinks on switch x450-g2-02, the uplink on the x45-g2-01 are both connected, the results where the same. The only stable config is one uplink and no LAG configure

the ping response where: 5 IGMP response, 5 not, 10 IGMP response, 2 not, 15 response, 1 not. There is no repeating order.

Hello Rien,

What happens when you keep MLAG enabled on both switches but take out the connections to one of the peers? Are you saying that the pings will not respond randomly? how often and how many?

Hello Patrick



Thank you for your response

Indeed are 2 of the connections configured a LAG on one of the X450 and the other 2 on the other.

The used port on the X450 switches are 45-48 as ISC lag, and 1-2 for the uplink to the C3124-Stack

The used ports on the c3124-stack are ge.1.48;ge.2.48;ge.3.46;ge.4.48 as uplinks to the x450 switches

Patching is:

C3124 port ge.1.48 is connected to X450-g2-01 port 1

C3124 port ge.2.48 is connected to X450-g2-02 port 1

C3124 port ge.3.46 is connected to X450-g2-01 port 2

C3124 port ge.4.48 is connected to X450-g2-02 port 2

This's what I configured:

This is the Vlan, MLag and Lag config for switch X450-g2-01:

This is the Vlan and Lag config for C3124-stack-01 stack:

set port lacp port ge.1.48 enable

set port lacp port ge.2.48 enable

set port lacp port ge.3.46 enable

set port lacp port ge.4.48 enable

The problems what I see is that the Lag/ MLag is coming up but when pinging from a PC on th ec3124 stack to the management addresses of x450 switches and a system connected to the X450 switch, the ping response is not stable, random it will lose IGMP response.

When I Use only one link between the C3124 stack and the X450 switch and no LAG or MLAG configuration, the pings are running fine.

I hope that you can help me

Hello Rien,

Can you explain (or show) the problems you are running into? Assuming you are splitting the 4 ports to the MLAG peers you should be able to configure a 2 port lag on one x450 and another 2 port lag on the other. If you are configuring these lags for LACP both sides need to be configured.
