1. Overview
Link aggregation between Cisco switch and Huawei switch can cause connection problem if we don not configure int correctly. One of the common problem is we will get packet loss frequently for point to point between switches.
In this article will show show how to configure LACP properly between Cisco switches model 3850X and model 2960 with Huawei switch model CE6800.
2. Prerequisites
In this article, it is presumed that:
a. You have already connected the cables properly to the each ports.
b. You have a direct console access to switch
3. Configure LACP
Our configuration will base on the following the following diagram. Huawei switch model CE6800 is connected two Cisco switches, model 3850X and 2960.
The following is the LACP configuration or each devices.
On Huawei Switch CE6800
] int eth0 port link-type trunk port trunk allow-pass vlan 10 20 mode lacp-static ] int 10g1/0/1 eth-trunk 0 undo negotiation auto ] int 10g1/0/2 eth-trunk 0 undo negotiation auto ] int eth1 port link-type trunk port trunk allow-pass vlan 10 20 mode lacp-static ] int 10g1/0/3 eth-trunk 1 undo negotiation auto ] int 10g1/0/4 eth-trunk 1 undo negotiation auto ] dis int eth0 ] dis int eth1
On Cisco Switch 3850X
# int g0/1 channel-group 1 mode active # int g0/2 channel-group 1 mode active # int po1 switchport switchport mode trunk switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport trunk allowed vlan 15,25 # sh eth 1 sum
On Cisco Switch 2960
# int g0/1 channel-group 1 mode active # int g0/2 channel-group 1 mode active # int po1 switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 15,25 # sh eth 1 sum
4. Conclusion
Now you should be able to configure LACP between Cisco switch and Huawei switch. If you have any questions or suggestions you can always leave your comments below. I will try all of my best to review and reply them.
