Solving Link Aggregate Problems (MANUAL Mode)

Link partner configured?

YES

Link aggregate configured?

YES

Link aggregate enabled?

YES

Correct ports in link aggregate?

YES

NO

NO

NO

NO

Do the following:

Verify that the switch is configured correctly with the appropriate ports enabled. See the appropriate switch documentation to determine if the switch ports connected to the server are configured correctly for manual link aggregation (trunking) and do not run FEC or LACP.

Verify that the link aggregate is configured by issuing the lanscan command. Link aggregate names begin with LinkAgg.

If the link aggregate is not configured, use the SAM to configure it. See “Configuring a Link Aggregate” (page 36) for more information.

Verify that the link aggregate is enabled by issuing the following command:

#lanadmin -x -i linkAggPPA

If the aggregate is enabled, the Link Aggregation Mode is MANUAL.

If the aggregate is not enabled, do the following:

1.Check the cabling between the NIC and the switch.

2.Verify that the link partner is configured to run manual trunks. Make any changes, if necessary. Then, verify that the link aggregate is enabled.

3.Verify that all ports in the aggregate are set to the same MANUAL mode by using the following command for each port:

# lanadmin -x-pportPPA linkAggPPA

If they are not, use the SAM to modify the link aggregate.

Verify the ports in the link aggregate by issuing the following command:

#lanadmin -x -i linkAggPPA

The Active Ports PPA # entry shows the ports that compose the link aggregate.

If the link aggregate contains ports that you do not want in the aggregate, delete the ports by issuing the following command:

#lanadmin -X-dportPPA linkAggPPA

where portPPA can be a list of multiple ports numbers separated by a space.

If any ports you wanted in the link aggregate are members of another link aggregate, delete the ports in the other aggregate by issuing the following command:
