Hi teammate,

Thanks for the responds, now it's clear. :)

Yes, there's a loop since I do all the 3 port-channels (to other 3 switches) in 1 switch first before I move to other switches.

The solution is: I creating one by one (from this side and then go to other side directly connected and back over and over again though all switches).

After creating port-channel in one side, go quick creating port-channel to other side or you will get MACFlap notification like previous I post.

Hmm.. a little bit not efficient that Cisco had made time but it's fine since we're already know the solution. Thank you very much for the responds. I appreciate.
 
Regards,
Moses

You are getting a loop, because one end has the port channel set and
the other does not. If you force the ports to be an etherchannel you
should fix it (channel-group 1 mode on). If you need to allow it to
negotiate because of the task requirements, you'll have to work out
why the negotiation is failing.

To check the etherchannel status on each switch: show ether summ

If you are doing this through a dot1q tunnel, you need to enable LACP
through an L2 protocol tunnel as well. I think the command is:
l2protocol-tunnel lacp

Cheers,
Patrick
