Are you setting up the cisco with these commands?

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# interface range fastethernet xx

Switch(config-if)# no switchport

Switch(config-if)# no ip address

Switch(config-if)# channel-group 1 mode active

Switch(config-if)# end

Then on the Powerconnect 8024f

console(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/0/6

console(config-if-1/0/6)# channel-group 1 mode active

We will wait to see what you have when you get back to the office.

thanks

Hi there

Here my setup:

Cisco:

interface GigabitEthernet2/47

switchport trunk native vlan 2

switchport mode trunk

channel-protocol lacp

channel-group 1 mode active

!

interface GigabitEthernet2/48

switchport trunk native vlan 2

switchport mode trunk

channel-protocol lacp

channel-group 1 mode active

 

Dell :

interface Te1/0/23

channel-group 1 mode active

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk native vlan 2

exit

!

interface Te1/0/24

channel-group 1 mode active

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk native vlan 2

exit

After the channeling "build-up" the native interface on del dell shows "DOWN" despite that an host ist connected on the Dell switch on VLAN2:

Interface    State   IP Address      IP Mask         Method

----------   -----   --------------- --------------- -------

Vl2          Down    172.16.1.50     255.255.255.0   Manual

 

I'll try your setup this afternoon...

Thanks,

Norbert
