[c-nsp] FW: Cisco blade switch config

Yes, I am aware. My HP simply was configured something like:

Config t
Trunk 21-22 trk1 lacp
Trunk 37-38 trk2 lacp
Exit

Then I made sure that those trunks were TAGGED for each VLAN.

The HP switch, appears correct. I believe, even by review of the show lacp
command.


Then for Cisco, I built Etherchannel LACP from ports. My etherchannel
summary now shows
that gi 0/20 & 0/22 are in use and bundled in port channel. So that seems
fine.

My etherchannel for those ports was built for channel 1, or PO1. Config
reads:




> interface Port-channel1
> description HP CORE
> switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-3,100
> switchport mode trunk
> spanning-tree portfast trunk
> spanning-tree vlan 4-99 cost 20
> !
> interface GigabitEthernet0/1
> switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-3,100
> switchport mode trunk
> speed 1000
> channel-group 1 mode active
> spanning-tree portfast
> !
> interface GigabitEthernet0/2
> switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-3,100
> switchport mode trunk
> speed 1000
> channel-group 1 mode active
> spanning-tree portfast

Now, this being the case, would you not expect these ports to carry traffic
on those vlans (1,2,3,100) ?
If I have a ESX host in gi 0/1 and it has vm's on 2 of those vlans, and 2
virtual switches are configured, one for each ip segment/vlan, then each VM
should send traffic to my uplink ports, in this case gi 0/20 & 0/22, which
will pass all those vlans on to the next switch?

It is odd to me, as port gi 0/1 needs to be able to actually accommodate
multiple vlans, so to me that would be a trunk. Then, to combine multiple
ports to move traffic, I need the etherchannel (with LACP talking to the
HP). It seems this all works fine as long as only 1 vlan is applied. AS soon
as the expectation is for more than one vlan, it ceases.

Ah - port-channel in cisco land is trunk in hp land Trunk in cisco land is a
tagged interface in hp land.
Hp diesnt have the concept of ciscos trunk/ access port.
