EtherChannel from Intel Team to cisco swtch

It can be either.

Can you post the config of the cisco switch?

interface Vlan1

I am trying to create an etherchannel from the switch to two nic ports on a server

Config looks okay to me. What does a "show ether summ" say?

How does traffic get from VLan 1 to the new VLan 10?   All lights are green and everything looks good but I can't ping and device on VLAN1 from the server on VLAN 10.  This is all from the same switch.

Flags:  D - down        P - in port-channel
        I - stand-alone s - suspended
        H - Hot-standby (LACP only)
        R - Layer3      S - Layer2
        U - in use      f - failed to allocate aggregator
        u - unsuitable for bundling
        w - waiting to be aggregated
        d - default port


Number of channel-groups in use: 1
Number of aggregators:           1

Group  Port-channel  Protocol    Ports
------+-------------+-----------+-----------------------------------------------
1      Po1(SU)         LACP      Gi0/1(P)    Gi0/2(P)

Does the EtherChannel have to be on a different VLAN than the rest of the switch?  Because I can't communicate across VLans?

Your etherchannel link is working.

Traffic between VLANs would have to be routed by either the 3560 or some other routing device.

DO you have any idea how that type of routing is done

You would need a vlan1 interface and a vlan 10 interface defined on the 3560 with the appropriate IP addresses. Then the hosts would need to have default gateways on the vlan interfaces.

ip routing
 
int vlan 1
 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
 no shut
 
int vlan 10
 ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
 no shut

Give this link a look for how to configure a 3560 for layer 3 routing.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk389/tk815/technologies_configuration_example09186a008019e74e.shtml

So, Does an ether channel need to be on it's own VLAN, or can it be on the default VLan 1?  This way routing will not be an issue?

It can be either. Depends on what you're trying to accomplish. In your case, if you want the server on the same broadcast domain as the hosts that are connecting to it, put the server in the same VLAN as the hosts.

When I setup the etherchannel on VLAN1, the two ports are amber and I have no connection to anything on the switch or the network.  When I set it up on VLAN10 The ports are green but I don't have access to anything on the switch or network due to the layer3 routing.

How are you putting the etherchannel in VLAN1? What commands are you using?

Gi0/1
Gi0/2

For Each Port I do:

Switch#conf t
Switch(config)#int Gi0/1
Switch(config-if)#switchport
Switch(config-if)#Configure the port as an access port and assign the appropriate VLAN.
Switch(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)#switchport access vlan 1
Switch(config-if)#spanning-tree portfast
Switch(config-if)#channel-group 1 mode active

Then I do this once:
Switch(config)#port-channel load-balance src-mac

Sorry, This is what Use:

Gi0/1
Gi0/2

For Each Port I do:

Switch#conf t
Switch(config)#int Gi0/1
Switch(config-if)#switchport

Switch(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)#switchport access vlan 1

Switch(config-if)#spanning-tree portfast
Switch(config-if)#channel-group 1 mode active

Then I do this once:
Switch(config)#port-channel load-balance src-mac

What I wanted was, "what commands do you use to set the vlan for the etherchannel?"

That said, the commands to change the vlan membership of an EXISTING etherchannel to vlan 1 would be:

conf t
int po 1
 switchport access vlan 1

Not Sure.
  I did run

conf t
int po1
switchport vlan 1

But when I run show config I still see:

!
interface Port-channel1
 switchport access vlan 10
 switchport mode access
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
 description Epicor EtherChan1
 switchport mode access
 channel-group 1 mode active
 spanning-tree portfast
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/2
 description Epicor EtherChan2
 switchport mode access
 channel-group 1 mode active
 spanning-tree portfast
!

The command is "switchport access vlan 1"

Sorry that was a mistype on that post.  I did do

conf t
int po 1
switchport access vlan 1

  But in show config still say's
!
interface Port-channel1
 switchport access vlan 10
 switchport mode access

Interesting.

Try:

int range po1 , g0/1 - 2
 switchport access vlan 1

and do you get any messages when you enter the commands?

I will as soon as I get it back the way it was.  I wanted to start over so I ran:
conf t
interface range gigabitethernet0/1 -2
    no channel-group

I am trying to get the two ports back to regular switch ports on Vlan 1 and remove the channel group / port-channel1.  The two ports show up as VLan 1 but how do I delete the port-channel and start fresh.

!
interface Port-channel1
 switchport access vlan 10

!
interface GigabitEthernet0/2
 description Epicor EtherChan2
 switchport mode access
 channel-group 1 mode active
 spanning-tree portfast
But when I run config it is still listed as:

no int po1

Command does not work, I get:

3560G-48-Ferg2(config)#no int po1
                                ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

?!?!

You can't enter a "no" command? Where is the "^" pointing?

It is pointing at the 1,  

    It almost looks like it may have been deleted but still shows up in the show config.  NOt sure what is going on.

Everything went ok but when I tried to delete with no int po1 I get the same error pointing at the 1

OK, I just went into the Web Interface for the switch and noticed the two ports were not active.  I activated them via the web interface then went back into telnet and ran show config again and everything looks back to were it was.  I will try to start again after lunch.

Thank you so much for your help so far.  Hopfully this new etherchannel on VLAN 1 will do the trick.  I'll let you know.

That worked!  It must have been stuck the whole time.  One last question before I close this.  How can I verify that the throuput of this etherchannel is better than the throuput if I just had one nic to a regular port on the switch?

Kevin

Thanks for all your help on this
