Hey all!

I hope someone has managed to figure this out as it is perplexing me. I've tried setting up the LACP and VLAN trunking as per Quanta LB6M (10GbE) -- Discussion , but for some reason, anything but the management vlan refuses to pass. I can ping between the VLAN connections that are native to the switch, but if I try to get to another switch with that VLAN, it won't work.

My switches are 5520 and LB6M. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Mine works fine. Got multiple vlans running over multiple lag/lacp trunks.
Are you adding the port-channels to the vlans?

Fixed it, turns out I forgot to create a firewall rule to allow traffic on that VLAN.

3 days down the drain on that one...

Your config looks a little different to mine and my switch is on an earlier firmware version, but if it helps here is my working config:

interface 0/8

no auto-negotiate

addport 1/1

exit

interface 0/14

no auto-negotiate

addport 1/1

exit

interface 0/25

addport 1/2

exit

interface 0/26

addport 1/2

exit

interface 0/27

addport 1/2

exit

interface 0/28


--More-- or (q)uit


addport 1/2

exit

interface 0/19

no auto-negotiate

addport 1/3

exit

interface 0/20

no auto-negotiate

addport 1/3

exit

!

interface 0/19

description 'LAG to office'

exit

interface 0/20

description 'LAG to office'

exit

interface 1/1

description 'LAG to freenas'

no port-channel static

exit

interface 1/2

description 'lag to 1gb switch'

spanning-tree edgeport


--More-- or (q)uit


vlan participation include 10,14,20

vlan tagging 10,14,20

exit

interface 1/3

description 'LAG to office'

no port-channel static

spanning-tree edgeport

vlan participation include 10,14,20

vlan tagging 10,14,20

exit

router rip

exit

router ospf

exit

exit


For what it's worth, I spent ages "trying" to get the lb6m to pass vlan traffic over lag/lacp. In my case it wasn't the lb6m that was the problem it was the switch before the lb6m.

Hi there,
I am having a similar issue with vlan traffic not passing through to another switch and i think my logic on the routing seems to be wrong.
System: T3040-LY3 Runtime Code 1.4.10.00 Linux 2.6.35
vlan 3001; native to all ports; allowed at all ports; untagged to all ports except port 48 (tagged).
port 48 is the uplink to another switch which also has vlan 3001.
Over at the discuss of "Quanta LB6M (10GbE) -- Discussion" some suggested "trunk port", but my switch do not have an "trunk port" after "switchport" command. Instead there is this "vtp" command but with a vlan limitation of 1005.
Currently traffic only goes through the management network.
Could you guys advise? Thank you

Hello gr8ape -- Hopefully you can help out here... I am stuck in the same situation as you were. I am just trying to pass the VLAN traffic but none is going through - only default goes through.

  • What are the commands to allow traffic for say vlan 100 for interface 1/10 for the firewall?
  • Do I need to do anything specific for the uplink port to pass the traffic to all interfaces? I am using port 44 (Ethernet port) to link back to the master switch which is passing the vlan traffic.
  • What is the difference between interface 0/10 and 1/10 for example?

Did you figure out how to get other VLAN traffic to pass through? I am stuck with same issue.

I'm using your configuration exactly, and specifically the `no port-channel static` to make my 802.3ad LACP work properly; without it, the port-channels really don't pass traffic (no firewalling or anything to get in the way). But I'm curious if you or anyone else has run into the following when trying to create more than 8 dynamic port channels?

Code: 
(s2) (Interface 1/9)#no port-channel static

1/9
Unable to convert static Port-channel to Dynamic.
Maximum allowable dynamic Port-channels (8) already present in the system.
I've got 9 total: one of the four 1G ports, then eight dual-pair 10G ports. This happens configuring the last. I'm on firmware 1.2.0.18, and this option seems needed for the LACP as mentioned but having a limit of 8 seems quite arbitrary. If there's another way around this (such as LACP with a static port-channel? though that doesn't work when I try it) that would also work.

Bumping this thread in the hopes that someone has seen this and knows a resolution. I'm getting to the point where I might want a 9th LACP group and this has become a blocker.
