RE: Link flapping PagP 3550 and 1912 frozen

Pierre-Alex,

The following is from the 3550 Command Ref for the pagp learn-method
command:

Note The Catalyst 3550 supports address learning only on aggregate ports
even though the physical-port keyword is provided in the CLI. The pagp
learn-method and the pagp port-priority interface configuration commands
have no effect on the switch hardware, but they are required for PAgP
interoperability with devices that only support address learning by physical
ports, such as the Catalyst 1900 switch.

When the link partner to the Catalyst 3550 switch is a physical learner, we
recommend that you configure the switch as a physical-port learner by using
the pagp learn-method physical-port interface configuration command and to
set the load-distribution method based on the source MAC address by using
the port-channel load-balance src-mac global configuration command. Use the
pagp learn-method interface configuration command only in this situation.

Perhaps try defaulting the pagp learn-method and see if that works.

HTH,

Joe Martin

Subject: Link flapping PagP 3550 and 1912 frozen

A- Situation: I am using a 3550 and a 1912 to do PAgp.

B- The problem: flapping links on the 3550, frozen 1912

09:44:20: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/2, changed state to down

(2) As soon as the pagp negotiation starts, the 1912 is unaccessible and
the only way to get to it is to shut down the port on the 3550. When this is
done the switch is still unaccessible for another 30 seconds.

C- The configurations
