Hi all,


I am deploying VxLAN solution. When I configuring the downlink to Cisco Switch with trunk, 

The ports are in up status, but both switches said it is the root bridge, seems it cannot see each others.

Does anyone know how to configure/suggestion on huawei and cisco?


Also, I also want to configure with 2 Huawei Switches with MLAG, do I add "dfs-group 1 m-lag 1", is it still working with cisco?


Huawei configuration:

interface Eth-Trunk10

 description Link to 2960X-3 L2

 mode lacp-static

#

interface Eth-Trunk10.218020 mode l2

 encapsulation dot1q vid 20

 bridge-domain 218020

#

interface 10GE1/0/34

 description Link to KDC-2960X-3 L2

 eth-trunk 10

 lacp force-up




Cisco configuration:

interface port-channel10

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk vlan 20

(I forgot the cisco configuration, just simple trunk allow vlan)

@WesKerT hello,
here are examples for link aggregation between Huawei and Cisco switch, https://support.huawei.com/hedex/hdx.do?docid=EDOC1100101219&id=EN-US_TASK_0138784589&lang=en

For the second question, did you mean you want to configure M-LAG on two Huawei switches and connect it to the Cisco switch?

Thanks for your reply.
The link aggregation between Huawei and Cisco is working (I have tried this for Layer 3 link).
but when I do it on layer 2 with VxLAN, the link is up, but seems not working.

For the second question, yes, I would like to configure MLAG to connect with cisco SW, but now I am still stacking on the first problem.

Thank you.

As LACP is used in EtherChannel, at Cisco side interfaces must be added to EtherChannel in passive mode.

well, I think you should try to verify if the vxlan configuration is fine and the vxlan tunnel is fine. As you said both switches(Huawei and Cisco) reported itself which is the root bridge, I think you mean the root bridge in xSTP, if the vxlan tunnel is fine, it's better to check the xSTP protocol enabled on both Huawei and Cisco switch, cause PVST/PVST+ is the default xSTP protocol on Cisco switch while MSTP on the Huawei switch.

For the second problem, you can check https://support.huawei.com/hedex/hdx.do?docid=EDOC1100020548&id=dc_cfg_eth-trunk_0087&lang=en

Thanks for your reply.
I have tried cisco configure with MSTP, then it can communicate with Huawei.
But may I ask does MLAG pair can work Cisco RPVST?
Or can Huawei SW configure to have per vlan STP?

I cannot find any way to communicate with Cisco xSTP, as MLAG does not support VBST.

PVST is a private protocol released by Cisco, Huawei doesn't support it.
M-LAG could connect to Cisco, when M-LAG enabled, the switch only supports RSTP.
For Huawei switch, VBST works similar as the PVST.
