Re: Need help with LACP Trunking on 4948 switch

Thanks Kal, Ryan. I test the flow by pinging the self IP on the F5, which
I'm not able to. When I take off LACP, I can ping the self IP. STP is not
running on the F5 interfaces.

I am running a single vlan on this trunk. So on the F5 side, I have set the
same vlan on the trunk but the trunk is "untagged". Does it have to be
tagged even if there's a single vlan active on the trunk?

I am not able to get the bigip_base.conf right now but will do so tomorrow
during business hours.

thanks for the help!!
