I have confiugured my 4 interfaces on LACP and addes VLAN so that i can communicate between my two servers but i have the error that tells that the line protocol is down .
the model is : 2 servers connected to the same switch and each server has an aggregation with two ethernet cable (25G)
#show port-channel summary
Flags: D - Down I - member up but inactive P - member up and active U - Up (port-channel) F - Fallback Activated IND - LACP Individual -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Group Port-Channel Type Protocol Member Ports -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11 port-channel11 (D) Eth DYNAMIC 1/1/10(I) 1/1/11(I) 12 port-channel12 (D) Eth DYNAMIC 1/1/12(I) 1/1/13(I)
the configuration is : [i have the two ports (11 and 10 linked to the first server and the 12 and 13 ports linked to the second server)]
(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/11 swfrd(conf-if-eth1/1/11)# show configuration ! interface ethernet1/1/11 no shutdown channel-group 11 mode active no switchport flowcontrol receive off
Now i have the ping between the 2 servers and I can test iperf3 . I just want to understand why when I put the two interfaces into the active and passive mode, I see that the two cables pass the network, I thought that the passive mode in the 2 interface is just like a stand by in case the first cable is down it doesn't send any packets.
Is my configuration on the switch correct ? Am I missing any command?
