S6730 vs ESX vs ProCurve trunk problem

Good day,

I have two problems/questions:


1) assembled iStack between two S6730-H48X6C


Honestly, I don't know exactly the configuration of the trunk / hybrid port between this switch and ESXi (without the distribution switch).

On ESX I have created a vSwitch and added two physical 40Gbit adapters as an uplink.

From each physical adapter there will be a cable to each switch.

How to set up Eth-Trunk on the switch correctly in this case? LACP is not supported by vSwitch.


Now a has the Eth-Trunk port set on the switch as follows:


#
Eth-Trunk10 interface
 description == ESX1-LACP ==
 port link-type trunk
 port trunk pvid vlan 1234
 undo port trunk allow-pass vlan 1
 port trunk allow-pass vlan 10 to 11 89 111 208 220 224 567 1234 3003
 port description switch
#
return


I emphasize that I do not want VLAN1 in this trunk (neither in the tag nor in untag), only the VLANs in the TAG. Is my configuration correct? I'm not sure if untag vlan is required on the trunk port / now I've set the PVID to 1234, but I don't need it / So I need a trunk port that will contain vlans 10 11 89 111 208 220 224 567 1234 3003 in TAG and to communicate properly (failover or load balůancing) with vSwitch in ESXi.


I have set vSwitch according to the picture.

vswitch


2) The second problem again concerns the assembly of the trunk between the S6730 and the HP ProCurve switch. I need VLAN1 in untag (management) and the rest of the VLAN in the tag. ProCurve do not support full LACP. When I select a trunk as LACP on the ProCurve switch, communication does not work (neither tag nor untag).


HuaSW configuration:


#
Eth-Trunk2 interface
 description == HP14-SOFT ==
 port link-type hybrid
 port hybrid tagged vlan 10 208 220 350
 port description switch
#
return


ProCurve configuration:


interface 47
   name "TRK2-HUA1"
exit
interface 48
   name "TRK2-HUA2"
exit
trunk 47-48 Trk2 Trunk
exit


Is this configuration correct and "best practices"?


Thank you for your help. Jirka

Hi sigmasoftcz,
1.  If you do not need to set the PVID to 1234, run the undo port trunk pvid vlan command to delete it.  

2.  If Huawei switches cannot communicate with HP switches, check the physical links between the switches. Then, check whether the Eth-Trunk configurations at both ends are consistent. If LACP is enabled at one end but disabled at the other end, the two ends cannot communicate.

Finally, capture packets to check whether the VLAN is faulty.

I hope it helps!

Hello!
Unfortunately you will not be able to create a LACP without a distributed switch in the ESXi. So try to balance links by IP or MAC of the sender.
