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.

 

 

C a u t i o n

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.

 

 

Mesh-Related Problems

Traffic on a dynamic VLAN does not get through the switch mesh .

GVRP enables dynamic VLANs. Ensure that all switches in the mesh have GVRP enabled. (Note that HP Procurve 1600M/2400M/2424M/4000M/8000M switches do not offer GVRP. Thus, if there are any of these switches in the mesh, GVRP must be disabled for any Series 5300XL switches in the mesh.)
