Has anyone been able to configure a Passport 8600 and a Cisco switch
to use multiple ports? I thought Nortel's MLT was compatible with the
plan on using this with 3750's. Any help would be appreciated.
googling for this informations, to use MLT on a BPS2000, it seems to be only usable among two MLT enabled Nortel. Don't ever think of Using it with Cisco Etherchannel. If anybody can correct me i'll be really happy
Nortel MLT is statically compliant with 802.3ad, and in later versions of Passport software, fully compliant including LACP. You should be able to mix statically configured (no LACP) MLT and Etherchannel with no problem. If you want automatic configuration with LACP, you need to be running Passport software 3.7.
If I understand you correctly, I should be able to configure a
standard mlt and connect to an etherchannel? I have actually tried it
both ways. At first I just tried using a std mlt and configured a std
etherchannel setup. I have also tried using lacp to dynamically add
the ports but I can't get even one port to come up.
Hello all,
I have also tried this just at L2..
Nortel 8600's with Cisco 3750. Using IST and SMLT, the SMLT is
working (SMLTNormal). Configured a etherchannel on cisco with LACP,
Port channel 1.
So far i have read no-one is able to get this working, the above does
work ie drop any one of the two up-link, 0 ping drops. The only
problem is i see is the port channel is down on the cisco??
Can anyone help?? Device manager or cli instructions.. or point me in
the right direction.
Thanks in adavance.
Jason
