[f-nsp] Trunking Problem

[Joseph Hardeman]

Hi Everyone,

I had a problem today that I am hoping someone could help me with.  I 
went to setup trunks between a bi8000 and a fi400.  From the docs all I 
should have had to do was run "trunk switch e 1/7 to e 1/8" on the bi 
and "trunk switch e 1/1 to 1/2", the systems are connected via Single 
Mode Fiber run between two floors, and then "trunk deploy" on each 
system.  After doing this, we started getting complaints about packet 
loss to and from our networks.  I ran show trunk on each system many 
times and did not see any issues, there was nothing logged stating there 
were any issues, and I did not see any errors on the individual 
interfaces on either system.  It came to a point I had to remove the 
trunk to get traffic to start flowing properly again.

Does anyone know what could have caused this or how I can troubleshoot 
to see what could have caused it because I need to get this trunk up as 
soon as I can.  As this is a live network and we are adding the 
additional lines for capacity, I have very limited time to get this in 
place right and today certainly didn't help. :-)

Thanks for everything.

Joe
