LACP-Related Problems

Unable to enable LACP on a port with the interface [e] < port-number> lacp command. In this case, the switch displays the following message:

Operation is not allowed for a trunked port.

You cannot enable LACP on a port while it is configured as static Trunk or FEC trunked port. To enable LACP on static-trunked port, first use the

no trunk [e] < port-number> command to disable the static trunk assignment, then execute interface [e] < port-number> lacp.

Removing a port from a trunk without first disabling the port can create a traffic loop that can slow down or halt your network. Before removing a port from a trunk, HP recommends that you either disable the port or disconnect it from the LAN.

Port-Based Access Control (802.1X)-Related Problems

To list the 802.1X port-access Event Log messages stored on the switch, use show log 802.

See also “Radius-Related Problems” on page C-14.

The switch does not receive a response to RADIUS authentication

requests. In this case, the switch will attempt authentication using the secondary method configured for the type of access you are using (console, Telnet, or SSH).

There can be several reasons for not receiving a response to an authentication request. Do the following:

Use ping to ensure that the switch has access to the configured RADIUS servers.

Verify that the switch is using the correct encryption key (RADIUS secret key) for each server.

Verify that the switch has the correct IP address for each RADIUS server.
