Im having a small problem. Im trying to port channel a 3750X to a Procurve 5406zl
It works if I just connect it regular, with 1GB port. But we need a port channel.
Where am I going wrong in this setup?

Here is my setup:

HP Procurve 5406zl

module 1 type J8702A
module 2 type J8702A
trunk A24,B24 Trk1 LACP
no timesync
snmp-server community "public" Unrestricted
vlan 1
name "DEFAULT_VLAN"
tagged A1-A23,B1-B23,Trk1
no ip address
exit
spanning-tree Trk1 priority 4

Cisco 3750x

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/47
description 1st-floor-sw-port-A24
srr-queue bandwidth share 1 30 35 5
priority-queue out
mls qos trust dscp
auto qos trust dscp
channel-group 30 mode on

interface GigabitEthernet2/0/47
description 1st-floor-sw-port-B24
srr-queue bandwidth share 1 30 35 5
priority-queue out
mls qos trust dscp
auto qos trust dscp
channel-group 30 mode on


interface Port-channel30
description 1st-fl-sw-porta24-b24
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 499
switchport mode trunk
spanning-tree portfast trunk
 
A few things:
1. Portfast option is questionable.
2. You force LACP on on the HP and do "mode on" on the Cisco. Remove LACP and force the the port channel on the HP.
3. The untagged VLAN numbers have to match. I see you have 499 and 1. Your 802.1q encapsulation won't work either.
 
How do I force the port channel on the HP? Ive been lookin thru their website and I found nothing...
Im working on changing the rest of the setup
 
Not sure, I do not work on HP so i am not familiar with the exact syntax. Try getting rid of "LACP"?
 
I did. I tried to get rid of the LACP and didnt work..
 
How about, under g1/0/47 and g2/0/47 add:
channel-protocol lacp
 
Sorry, I missed one obvious thing.
under g1/0/47 and g2/0/47 also add:
switchport mode trunk

 
Ouch. I missed that one too. I will try that one tonight after production hours and see if that works.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH...
 
Hmmm i just tried to add the channel-protocol lacp
I cannot do channel-protocol lacp is channel-group 30 is on.

Would that still work? I did it on one of the interfaces, trying to get it ready for tonight. I didnt actually did the connection, as its a production interface. Currently running on 1 port only...
 
Channel-group mode on" is wrong - this is a Cisco-proprietary link aggregation.

You need "channel-group mode active".
