Hi everyone, i'm having an issue traying to make a trunk between a cisco 2960 and force10 s25n.

when i do a port channel to connect both switches the cisco dose't publish any vlan to the force 10.

this is the config that dell tech support send my to do it

1-Create a LAG
For example:

Force10(conf)#interface port-channel 32
Force10(conf-if-po-32)#no shutdown
Force10(conf-if-po-32)#switchport

2- Configure the LAG interfaces as dynamic

For example:

Force10(conf)#interface Gigabitethernet 3/15
Force10(conf-if-gi-3/15)#no shutdown
Force10(conf-if-gi-3/15)#port-channel-protocol lacp
Force10(conf-if-gi-3/15-lacp)#port-channel 32 mode active
...
Force10(conf)#interface Gigabitethernet 3/16
Force10(conf-if-gi-3/16)#no shutdown
Force10(conf-if-gi-3/16)#port-channel-protocol lacp
Force10(conf-if-gi-3/16-lacp)#port-channel 32 mode active
...

For your Cisco equipment, here is what you need to do:

RackD6_03_Cisco2950(config)#int gigabitEthernet 0/1
RackD6_03_Cisco295(config-if)#channel-group 32 mode ?
RackD6_03_Cisco295(config-if)#channel-group 32 mode active

how can i make the cisco publishing vlans on force10, should i use lldp protocol???

i really don't know what i m doing wrong

if anyone knows it will be really helpful

thanks a lot! and sory for my terrible english.

Daniel.

Have you verified that the LACP negotiation has been successful on both sides? If so, you must also verify that DTP has negotiated successfully. If not, you could try statically configuring each side to force trunking. Make sure the native VLAN is the same on both sides or it won't work. It's 1 by default on IOS; not sure about on Force10.
