Hello all,
I'm trying to setup LACP using LAG between vCenter 5.5 VDS and a HP A7506 physical switch, somehow the LACP is not being activated..... Do I absolutely need running VM and / or traffic of some king for the LACP to activate (I don't think so) ?
My setup is:
3 VMHOST running ESXi 5.5 with 4 NIC's each using Fiber to a HP A7506, now I've configured the Virtual Distributed switch with one LAG that display each of my hosts and each of the four NIC...
LAG
192.168.226.11
VMNIC11 LAG-0
VMNIC5 LAG-1
VMNIC7 LAG-2
VMNIC9 LAG
I'm setup with VLAN ID:226 and VLAN Trunking and active mode.......I also setup VMkernels for Management and vMotion on the VDS
At the HP A7560, I'm also setup for VLAN trunking, VLAN ID 226... but the command: DIS INT bridge-aggregation3 , brings back:
current state: DOWN
Link speed and link duplex: autonegociation
PV ID: 1
Port Link-Type: Trunk
VLAN passing: 226
VLAN permitted: 226
What am i missing?
Thanks
A.
