Please log in for more thread options Does anyone know where can I find a document of how to set up the two together? or some more information or experiences of doing this? The cisco people here say that it doenst behave as expected, in that when we remove a cable from the trunk and re-connect it again, we notice a real server health check interuption, whereas it should be completely transparent. We are running .1q vlans over the trunk. Thanks | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options products/code had support for this. Also may be able to use LACP which should be standard if your code level supports it. | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options For BayStack, you can use LACP with 802.1Q to connect with Cisco LACP.
Here is the configuration example. BayStack 470 (Port 18-19 LACP) <--> Cisco 3550 ( port 0/18 - 0/19)
VLANs 10 and 20 will be tagged across the LAG (Link Aggregation Group)
LACP key = 3 MLT ID = 2 LACP Timeout = Long For BayStack 470, 470-48T(config)#vlan members remove 1 ALL 470-48T(config)#vlan ports 18,19 tagging tagall 470-48T(config)# vlan create 10 type port 470-48T(config)#vlan create 20 type port 470-48T(config)# vlan members add 10 18-20 470-48T(config)#vlan members add 20 18-20 470-48T(config)# interface fastEthernet all 470-48T(config-if)#no spanning-tree port 18,19 stp 1 470-48T(config-if)# lacp key port 18,19 3 470-48T(config-if)# lacp mode port 18,19 active 470-48T(config-if)# lacp aggregation port 18,19 enable 470-48T(config-if)# exit For Cisco 3550, Add VLANs 10 and 20 C3550#vlan data C3550(vlan)#vlan 10 state active C3550(vlan)#vlan 20 state active C3550(vlan)#exit ! spanning-tree mode pvst spanning-tree extend system-id no spanning-tree vlan 2,4,10,20 spanning-tree vlan 4,100-102 priority 8192 ! vlan dot1q tag native ! interface Port-channel3 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport trunk native vlan 10 switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20 switchport mode trunk ! ! interface FastEthernet0/18 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport trunk native vlan 10 switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20 switchport mode trunk channel-group 3 mode active channel-protocol lacp ! interface FastEthernet0/19 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport trunk native vlan 10 switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20 switchport mode trunk channel-group 3 mode active channel-protocol lacp ! interface FastEthernet0/20 switchport access vlan 10 switchport mode access cconnell_1@lycos.com wrote: > Hi,
