The interface on the JD990A is very cut down. There is a serial console with minimal commands and a web interface. The 3750 is in a 2 switch stack and I am trying to configure cross-stack link aggregation with the HP. Most information online tends towards a better HP switch with cli access this does not have.

Does anyone have any idea what may be required to achieve this?

NOTE: I'm posting this as an answer mainly because a comment was very hard to read. I'm not certain if you are asking how to configure the HP switch or if you want full details on both sides (cisco and HP).

The JD990A is the HP 1905, right? The 3COM OfficeConnect acquisition line?

See these two links:

http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02581623/c02581623.pdf

http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02583125/c02583125.pdf

You should be able to configure LACP on the ports through the web interface of the HP switch to correspond with the LACP config on the ports on the Cisco switch.

Just be sure that you configure the HP side aggregation type as LACP instead of static.

  • I am unsure of the technical details of Link Aggr on the HP switch. I am using the LANBASE license so I can't use the L3 options for etherchannel. I am wondering if this may cause a problem linking with the HP. – Matt Jun 12 '13 at 14:12
  • That part I don't know...will it let you configure LACP in the web interface on the HP at all? If it's a licensing issue, SF folks won't really be much help. – TheCleaner Jun 12 '13 at 14:23
  • That is really what I am unsure of. If the HP switch is only trying to achieve LACP at L3 then I think I am stuck, but documentation on this model is sparse. I can configure LACP ok on the web ui and cisco stack is configured, the port channel doesn't come up and lacp port state stays as INDEP. – Matt Jun 12 '13 at 14:29
  • Cisco documentation indicate it can operate on L2 with a different feature set. I am guessing the HP unit does not support. I will leave this open a little longer to see if anyone else has anything to say. – Matt Jun 12 '13 at 14:35
  • Sorry, I typo'd it. It should have read "LACP is a L2" protocol by default. I'll have to dig a little deeper on the HP side though to see what INDEP means. – TheCleaner Jun 12 '13 at 15:03
  • no INDEP is from cisco. It means 'independent'. The port is put in this state to avoid looping. This should be a misconfiguration, but damned if I know where... – Matt Jun 12 '13 at 15:06
  • After 1 AM here. Sorry if I am not very clear. I have been stuck on this one for some time. – Matt Jun 12 '13 at 15:09
  • Gotcha...sorry my own fault for not reading it well enough. You have two ports on the Cisco stack straight connected one for one to two ports on the HP, correct? I wouldn't connect the actual cabling just yet (or admin down the ports). See here on the Cisco:http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps5023/products_configuration_example09186a00806cb982.shtml#config2 but it's difficult to help via SF on something like this. You might edit your OP with current configs on the ports on both ends as well as states you are getting and then we'll delete out these comments and start over. – TheCleaner Jun 12 '13 at 15:44
  • A little more difficult to add the HP config as afaik there is no easy to read text dump of the config. Suffice to say it is pretty straight forward to configure. I posted the cisco config, I guess if there is a query about the HP config I can just answer it. – Matt Jun 12 '13 at 16:04

The mode for the channel group needed to be on.

channel-group 5 mode on

  • Interesting... mode ON on a Cisco switch is PaGP only. Which switch did you put that command into? – SpacemanSpiff Jun 24 '13 at 05:54
  • The Cisco one. I discounted using that mode as well but cisco support advised me to use it and it worked. – Matt Jun 24 '13 at 05:57
