Program (BASP)

This section lists known AT-2931SX BASP problems and solutions that apply to all operating systems.

Problem: 802.3ad team member links disconnect and reconnect continuously.

Solution: This is a 3rd party issue. It is seen only when configuring an 802.3ad team with more than 2 members on the server and connecting an HP2524 switch, with LACP enabled as passive or active. The HP switch shows an LACP channel being brought up successfully with only 2 members. All other member's links disconnect and reconnect.

Note

This issue does not occur with a Cisco Catalyst 6500.
