All,
I am totally new to dell switches (cisco background) and have been asked to create a port channel split over a pair of existing dell aggregator enclosure switches. All the other ports which are connected to the servers except the ports in question I am trying to configure are in port channel.
I have read that they cannot be in a port mode to do auto-lag port channel but I seem to be totally failing to workout how to:
1) Create a new port channel
2) Take the existing ports out of the port mode
3) Add the port to the new port channel.
When I try to create a new port channel interface I get as shown below
agg1(conf)#int po16
Error: Command allowed only for uplink Lag.
The port(s) I am try to change currently have this config:
interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/1
mtu 12000
portmode hybrid
switchport
vlan tagged 220,223,950
flowcontrol rx on tx off
!
protocol lldp
advertise management-tlv management-address system-name
dcbx port-role auto-downstream
no shutdown
And I am trying to get them in to the same config as this example port on the same switch (with a different port channel unique to the t0/1 port on both dell aggregators)
interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/2
mtu 12000
vlan tagged 220,223,950
flowcontrol rx on tx off
!
port-channel-protocol LACP
port-channel 1 mode active
!
protocol lldp
advertise management-tlv management-address system-name
dcbx port-role auto-downstream
no shutdown
which is then tied to :
!
interface Port-channel 1
mtu 12000
portmode hybrid
switchport
vlt-peer-lag port-channel 1
no shutdown
link-bundle-monitor enable
I am sure I must be missing some top level command somewhere that allow me to configure but I seem to be going round in circles and the only guides seem to be coming from a fresh switch setup (and concerned I am going to impact the setup of the other ports.
Any pointers would be greatly appreiciated
