LINK AGGREGATION INTEROPERABILITY OF THE DELL POWERCONNECT 6200 SERIES SWITCH
CONFIRMING A SUCCESSFUL DYNAMIC LINK AGGREGATION
CONNECTION WITH CISCO IOS
The following example shows how the Cisco IOS show interfaces port-channel 1
etherchannel command can be used to assure that the Cisco has established a LAG and
that the LAG is connected.
3750# show interfaces port-channel 1 etherchannel
Port-channel1 (Primary aggregator)
Age of the Port-channel = 00d:01h:11m:34s
Logical slot/port = 10/1 Number of ports = 4
HotStandBy port = null
Port state = Port-channel Ag-Inuse
Protocol = LACP
Ports in the Port-channel:
Index Load Port EC state No of bits
------+------+------+------------------+-----------
0 00 Gi1/0/1 Active 0
0 00 Gi1/0/2 Active 0
0 00 Gi1/0/3 Active 0
0 00 Gi1/0/4 Active 0
The output of the command shows the ports Gi1/0/1 through Gi1/0/4 are “Active.” This
confirms that there is physical link on all ports in the LAG and that the Cisco switch has
communicated with the PowerConnect 6200 Series switch to successfully establish an
aggregated link on ports 1/0/1 through 1/0/4 with LACP.
CONFIRMING A SUCCESSFUL DYNAMIC LINK AGGREGATION
CONNECTION WITH CISCO CATOS
The following example shows how the Cisco CatOS show interfaces lacp-channel
info
command can be used to assure that the Cisco switch has established a LAG and that
the LAG is connected.
Cat_6509> (enable) show lacp-channel info
Chan Port Status Channel Admin Speed Duplex Vlan
id mode group
---- ----- ---------- -------------------- ----- ----- ------ ----
801 2/1 connected active 395 a-1Gb a-full 1
801 2/2 connected active 395 a-1Gb a-full 1
801 2/3 connected active 395 a-1Gb a-full 1
801 2/4 connected active 395 a-1Gb a-full 1
. . .
The output of the command shows the status for ports 2/1 through 2/4 is “connected” and that
the channel mode is “active.” This confirms that there is physical link on all ports in the LAG
and that the Cisco switch has communicated with the PowerConnect 6200 Series switch to
successfully establish an aggregated link on ports 2/1 through 2/4 with LACP.
