Link Aggregation from 5316M to Cisco 3560
Hey there, I'm trying to set up a Link Aggregation Group from a blade system built-in switch (5316M) to a Cisco 3560 Gigabit switch. I'm hoping to use Dynamic grouping (with LACP). I followed the steps laid out in the Dell Interoperability pdf but haven't had much luck (I think because the link from the Cisco switch is not on VLAN 1). This is what I've tried: 5316M(config):interface range ethernet g(11-13) 5316M(config):channel-group 1 mode auto 3560G(config): int g0/1-3 3560G(config-if): switchport access vlan xx 3560G(config-if): switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q 3560G(config-if): channel-group 1 mode active 3560G(config-if): channel-protocol lacp I'm trying to use the trunking since I can't get a Channel Group on the 5316M to use anything but VLAN 1 When I look at the status on the 5316M I just see "active" but when I look at the 3560G, I see the Port Channel Interface 1 as down, down (notconnected) even though the three ports are connected. Any ideas? thanks

5316M(config):interface range ethernet g(11-13)
5316M(config):channel-group 1 mode auto
3560G(config): int g0/1-3
3560G(config-if): switchport access vlan xx
3560G(config-if): switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
3560G(config-if): channel-group 1 mode active
3560G(config-if): channel-protocol lacp
by adding the trunk info to the Port-Channel interface, all started to work fine
3560G(config): int Port-channel1
3560G(config-if):switchport access vlan xx
3560G(config-if):switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
Hope that helps
