LACP Configurations - Maipu and Cisco Switches

Hi All, I was doing a inter-operability testing for Maipu ME switches and Cisco 2960 and ME switches for LACP features (on mode and LACP mode).  It is working absolutely fine, In case any body is having any issues in configuration, They can refer this testing process and do it. 

I want to share testing report with you. It will help you in any future deployments.  This post is for LACP mode. In next post, I will share ON mode.

Maipu and Cisco LACP testing

Objective -  To test Maipu and Cisco LACP interoperability.

Cisco configuration -

port-channel load-balance src-dst-mac

interface Port-channel1

 switchport trunk native vlan 2

 switchport mode trunk

 load-interval 30

!

interface FastEthernet0/1

 switchport access vlan 10

 switchport mode access

!

interface FastEthernet0/2

 switchport access vlan 10

 switchport mode access

!

interface FastEthernet0/3

 switchport access vlan 10

 switchport mode access

!

interface FastEthernet0/23

 switchport trunk native vlan 2

 switchport mode trunk

 load-interval 30

 channel-group 1 mode passive

!

interface FastEthernet0/24

 switchport trunk native vlan 2

 switchport mode trunk

 load-interval 30

 channel-group 1 mode passive

!

Maipu Configuration –

link-aggregation 1 mode lacp

link-aggregation 1 load-balance src-dst-mac

vlan 1

 exit

port 0/0/14

 duplex full

 speed 100

 link-aggregation 1 active

 exit

port 0/0/15

 duplex full

 speed 100

 link-aggregation 1 active

 exit

link-aggregation 1

 port-type nni

Port 0/0/15 -

Test Conclusion - Maipu and Cisco LACP is properly working fine and bandwidth is load-balancing on both links. 

Hope this information will help you.
