I need to hook up a Netapp FAS3170 to a Cisco Catalyst 6513 running CAT OS using a two port etherchannel. A similar etherchannel is already configured on the switch but I have questions about whether this is the best way to configure it.
Current config of the working etherchannel between a Netapp NAS and Cisco Cat switch:
set port channel 3/13-14 mode on
set port channel 3/13-14 296
set port flowcontrol 3/13-14 receive desired
clear trunk 3/13 1006-1023
clear trunk 3/14 1006-1023
set trunk 3/13 auto negotiate 1-1005,1024-4094
set trunk 3/14 auto negotiate 1-1005,1024-4094
Is this the best way to hook up to the Netapp?
Should LACP be enabled?
If LACP is enabled on the switch or blade will the mode "on" work differently? Or is on the same whether LACP is enabled or not? One reason I ask is the channel is listed under PAGP in the following show command.
> (enable) sh port channel all
