How to create a vLAG with Brocade VDX6740 10GbE switch
Having problem creating a vLAG for a dual-10GbE client on 2 Brocade VDX6740 switches in a logical chassis mode.
Here's what I have at the moment:
2 10G interfaces, 1/0/33 and 2/0/33 and a port-channel (133):
vdx2# show run interface Port-channel 133
interface Port-channel 133
vlag ignore-split
switchport
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 1
spanning-tree shutdown
no shutdown
!
vdx2# show run interface Port-channel 133
interface Port-channel 133
vlag ignore-split
switchport
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 1
spanning-tree shutdown
no shutdown
!
vdx2# show running-config interface TenGigabitEthernet 1/0/33
interface TenGigabitEthernet 1/0/33
no fabric isl enable
no fabric trunk enable
channel-group 133 mode active type standard
lacp timeout long
no shutdown
!
vdx2# show running-config interface TenGigabitEthernet 2/0/33
interface TenGigabitEthernet 2/0/33
no fabric isl enable
no fabric trunk enable
channel-group 133 mode active type standard
lacp timeout long
no shutdown
vdx2# show port-channel 133
LACP Aggregator: Po 133 <<<<<<< No 'vLAG'

However the link status seem to be down for port-channel 133 and the LACPDUs Recv counters do not increment on it:
vdx2# show interface port-channel 133
Port-channel 133 is up, line protocol is down (link protocol down)

Hi malin,
Which interface do you have for the pool membership on the Isilon cluster? What does the ifconfig output show for the aggregated interface?

Hi, sjones5,
The client is a NFS client with a dual 10GbE NIC that will access the data
on the Isilon cluster through the brocade fabric.
The cluster itself is fully configured and can be accessed from NFS clients
through single 10GbE switchports
on the brocade VDX switches. The question has more to do with how to
configure vLAGs on the VDX switches.
cheers,
jf
