VLT-MAC Mismatch Problem (Dell S5248F-ON TOR Switch)

I have configured VLT on OS10 with following details:

Peer-01

 

Dist-SW-01# show running-configuration vlt
!
vlt-domain 16
 backup destination 172.16.120.3
 discovery-interface ethernet1/1/49
 peer-routing
 primary-priority 1
 vlt-mac 00:11:22:33:44:55

Dist-SW-01# show running-configuration interface ethernet 1/1/49
!
interface ethernet1/1/49
 description VLTi-01
 no shutdown
 no switchport
 flowcontrol receive off
 flowcontrol transmit off

 

 

Peer-02:

 

Dist-SW-02# show running-configuration vlt
!
vlt-domain 16
 backup destination 172.16.120.2
 discovery-interface ethernet1/1/49
 peer-routing
 vlt-mac 00:11:22:33:44:55
 
Dist-SW-02# show running-configuration interface ethernet 1/1/49
!
interface ethernet1/1/49
 description VLTi-01
 no shutdown
 no switchport
 flowcontrol receive off

 But there it showing VLT-MAC mismatch:

Peer-01:

My doubt is with VLT-LAG ports which is always same as shown above even after completely removing VLT configuration on both peers and re-configuring it. I didn't found any documentation regarding the vlt-portid, so can you guys explain how these vlt ports can be created/removed and what these ports are?
I am stuck with this VLT-MAC mismatch problem since 1 month so please guys help me to figure out the actual problem.
Note: I have updated the x509 certificate on both switches (Dell S5248F-ON TOR Switch).

Thanks in advance!

Sunil,

 

With both using OS10 it should work. What I would suggest is to look at the KB article here, then follow the steps to see if that resolves the issue, even though intended for a different unit. 

 

Let me know what you see.

Hello Chris,

Thanks for your response but the page is not accessible to me. It says "This article is permission based. Find another article." Can you share important points from the article which helps me to identify the root cause?

Hi @imsun02,

 

Are you running OS10 on the switch? 

 

Could you check if the port channel is up and running? OS10# show vlt 16 vlt-port-detail

Hello @DELL-Joey C ,

Yes I am running OS Version: 10.4.3.6.

Here is vlt-port detail for both peers:

Peer-01:

Dist-SW-01# show vlt 16 vlt-port-detail
vlt-port-channel ID : 10
VLT Unit ID    Port-Channel      Status    Configured ports    Active ports
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1            port-channel10     down      0                   0
vlt-port-channel ID : 30
VLT Unit ID    Port-Channel      Status    Configured ports    Active ports
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1            port-channel30     down      0                   0
vlt-port-channel ID : 100
VLT Unit ID    Port-Channel      Status    Configured ports    Active ports
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1            port-channel100    down      0                   0

 Peer-02:

Dist-SW-02# show vlt 16 vlt-port-detail
vlt-port-channel ID : 1
VLT Unit ID    Port-Channel      Status    Configured ports    Active ports
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2            port-channel30     down      0                   0
vlt-port-channel ID : 10
VLT Unit ID    Port-Channel      Status    Configured ports    Active ports
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2            port-channel10     down      0                   0

 

VLT Port Channels seems to be down, but I have not configured vlt-port-channels yet. I dont know how these ports channels are there. Is it expected behavior to find the vlt-port-channels created automatically?

Sunil Shrestha

Sunil, 

 

What I would suggest is to upgrade the firmware on the devices, as this likely is due to the OS10 certificate issue described here. That article also describes steps to help resolve as well.

 

Let me know how it goes.

Hello @DELL-Chris H ,

I have already updated the x.509 Certificate on both peers.
Is it possible to remove the vlt-port-channels which I have shared above?

Regards,

Sunil Shrestha

Hi @imsun02,

 

I don't think you should remove the port channel settings. You may need to review the configuration referring to the reference link in my previous reply, https://dell.to/3uFFolb on your VLT setup on OS10.

Hello @DELL-Joey C,

I am not getting why those vlt-port-channels exists i.e. (10, 30, 100 on peer-01 and 10, 30 on peer-02) as I didnt find any port-channel configuration on #show running configuration. I am not able to niether create new port-channels nor remove those existing vlt-port-channels.

Sunil Shrestha

Imsun02,

 

What I would suggest at this point would be to call in, so that we can analyze the system directly and try to determine the source of the issue.
