ICX Switches | 7150, 7450 | LAG Issue | Redundancy

rajivw — Wed, 15 Dec 2021 07:49:10 GMT

Hi everyone,

We have deployed couple of ICX-7150 Switches as the Access layer (Multiple floors / stacks) and 2x ICX-7450 as the Core. All the access switch stacks are getting connected to the core via 2x 1G links (Eg: 3-switch stack group; 1 link from the top switch of the stack to core SW1 and 1 link from bottom switch of the stack to core SW2 - LAGed).

All the LAGs are up and functioning properly. When we disconnect one link physically, the LAG is still up and the connectivity remains the same.

However, for few floors / stacks, when we disconnect one physical link of the LAG, both physical links go down and the LAG also goes down. When we reconnect the link again, both come up again and the LAG is online.

Appreciate your advice on this.

So how is your lag configured on each end and are you running loop protect and spanning-tree. If you are ssh'ed into the switch and monitor the pot that is not unplugged what happens to it. Turn on console logging and have the event logged dumped to the screen. Do this on each end to see if it reacts the same and you get the same events. Are there any errors on the ports that are connected between the core and the stacks?

Hi @tim_brumbaugh,

Yes, STP is enabled. I've shared below the configs for Core and Access (10th floor). I will share the event logs once I get access again to the network. When I compared the configs of 10th floor stack with a functional stack (No LAG issue), configs are all identical.

Check the stack I think it's a stack configuration mismatch.
