Maipu LACP Manual Mode and Cisco ON Mode Testing

As discussed in last post of LACP configurations, We will see Maipu LACP Manual mode and Cisco ON mode configurations in this post. This is testing report for inter-operability between Maipu and Cisco Switches.

Maipu Manual Link Aggregation Manual mode- Cisco ON mode

Objective – To test the compatibility of Cisco and Maipu switch for Link aggregation in Cisco ON mode and Maipu Manual Mode.

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.
