Cisco IGESM Spanning tree error

[chieftan999]

I have a very strange problem occuring.

I have installed a few BladeCenters running Cisco IGESMs and the configuraiotn of Spanning tree and 802.1Q trunks is the same and they all work fine in a fully redundant environment.

I have just installed another BladeCenter that links redundantly to 2 6509 cisco switches. The configuration is the same both ends of the trunk and Etherchannel and it is set up the same as the BladeCenters that work, however, patch this one in and spanning tree goes through its routine and then shuts the ports down. The config is listed below for the IGESM. The config on the 6509 is the same:-

Reamin positive. The affect on those around you will amaze.

I don't see a vtp domain name in the switch if you are trying to trunk to the 6509's , is this set ???? Does it mention anything in the logs why it shut the ports down . are you talking about the uplink ports being shutdown ?

 

[chieftan999]

It appears from the Cisco site that the errors being shown on the 6509 are Etherchannel link errors stipulating that the two ends are not configured the same.

I need to point out that I do not administer the 6509 and only have limited read access to the switch, but I do administer the IGESMs.

Both ends of the ehterchannel are set the same. The only difference I could see was that PAgP appeared to be on the etherchannel at the 6509 end.

I had that changed and it still failed.

I think the guys are going to log a call with Cisco with reference to this, because it is set exactly the same as the working IGESMs.

Reamin positive. The affect on those around you will amaze.

try making the vtp domain the same as the 6509 and see if the trunk and etherchannel will come up .
