All right, well as always be sure to attempt this lab on your own before
jumping into the solution, but once you're done, especially if you got hung up
on
anything, well it's time to jump in and take a look at it together. So our
topology is still up there in the top right. We have the need to deploy, first
of all, static mode on over here between switch one and the axis switch, LACP
between switch two and the axis switch, and then LACP between switches one and
two, and we're going to use that max bundles command in order to make sure WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
two, and we're going to use that max bundles command in order to make sure
that everything comes together. And I guess that is also going to be bundled
together. We were given port channel IDs of 15 and 25, and we weren't actually
given an ID for this top one. Hey, freedom, right? So we can call whatever we
want. I'll just go with the classic port channel 10 in this configuration. So
let's go ahead and do this. I'm going to get, well first of all, we can
reference
the diagram, whoops, show CDP neighbor, we reference the diagram, but here we WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
the diagram, whoops, show CDP neighbor, we reference the diagram, but here we
can
see exactly which ports we need to be concerned with. And so I'm going to get
on to the here and say config T interface range gig one slash zero through one.
And to configure a static port channel, it's going to be channel group mode.
Hold
up, we've got to add the number channel group 15 mode on. Alright, and then we
'll
do a no shut here just in case. And then I'm going to go over to the access WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
do a no shut here just in case. And then I'm going to go over to the access
switch
into range gig one slash zero through one. And channel group 15 mode on just
remember those channel group IDs don't actually have to match, but it's kind of
nice when they do helps us keep track of things. So if I do a so CDP neighbor
now, we should see that yes, which one is out one zero through one one. So now
I
can use that command show ether channel summary. Hopefully we see both of those
ports in online state and we do just keep in mind that doesn't mean anything WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
ports in online state and we do just keep in mind that doesn't mean anything
for
the other side when we're using static ether channels show ether channel
summary.
And it is good to go. Alright, so lab task number one is down on the lab task
number two, which is LACP between these two switches. We'll do a show CDP
neighbor.
Make sure we know that's two one and two two config T and range gig two slash
one
through two channel group. And this is going to be 25. And now we're using LACP WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
through two channel group. And this is going to be 25. And now we're using LACP
.
So we just need to make sure one side is active. I'll do active here on switch
two and then down here on the access switch, and range gig to slash one and two
channel
group 25 mode. And I could do passive here. I'll just go and do active. You
know,
that way it's active on both sides. It's more likely to come up if I forgot WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
that way it's active on both sides. It's more likely to come up if I forgot
what
I put on the other side, I suppose. But either way, show ether channel summary.
Let's see what's going on. So we do see port channel 25 is running LECP and
both
of those ports are online. Let's confirm it looks that way with switch to again
.
This part is usually effort that's not needed because it's running LACP. It
would not be
running on one side if it wasn't running on the other. And indeed it is. So
that's
lab task number two lab test number three involves configuring LCP up here. So WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
lab task number two lab test number three involves configuring LCP up here. So
I'm going
to get onto those interfaces we did during the lab gig zero slash zero through
three.
I'm going to say channel group. And again, we've got the freedom to give our
own ID
here. I'm going to say mode active. Go over to switch to pretty much the exact
same
thing. Zero through three channel group 10 mode active or passive either way.
So now let's do a show ether channel summary. All right, so caught it while it WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
So now let's do a show ether channel summary. All right, so caught it while it
's waiting.
If we get a W like this, it's waiting to be aggregated. So let's give it a
moment.
Looks like we might have one of our ports in a shutdown state. Let's see if
that waiting
port came online and it did. Good. All right. So show interface gig zero zero.
All right.
Yeah, it's actually in a shutdown state. I think that's left over from the lab.
We'll
do a no shut here. That was part of the hot standby demonstration. So now we WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
do a no shut here. That was part of the hot standby demonstration. So now we
should see
that all four of these are part of the port channel. It's waiting to come
online. And
there it goes. Oh, it's not enabled on the remote port. All right. Well, show
wait, is
it shut down here too? Oh, it is. All right. So again, in a lab environment,
the involving
virtual hardware, unfortunately, if you shut down one side, it doesn't done the
other.
And I forgot to shut it down on both, which is exactly what's required. So let WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
And I forgot to shut it down on both, which is exactly what's required. So let
's see if
it's online now. All right. And it is all four of our ports are online, which
means they're
online on the other side too. So now we were told to only allow two of these
ports to be
in the bundle. That is a command that must go on the port channel interface
itself. So
again, on an interface port channel 10. And then I do the LACP max bundle
command with
a two. And I'm going to do that on the other side as well. LACP max bundle of WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
a two. And I'm going to do that on the other side as well. LACP max bundle of
two. So now
we should see that we have those hot standby starting to show up. All right. So
we're still
again, if we go too fast, we catch it waiting. Now it's coming online. Do the
command one
more time. Good. So now we see two ports are in a port channel state. The other
two ports
are in a hot standby state. This is where I can demo again, getting on to get WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
are in a hot standby state. This is where I can demo again, getting on to get
zero zero
and doing a shot, because that virtual hardware I'm going to come over here and
do the same
thing. So now that we've lost gig zero slash zero wrong switch. Now that we've
lost gig
zero slash zero before it was in a state here, here's a quick pop question.
Which one of
these? Whoops, which one of the come on which one of these is going to become
part of the
bundle. And so think through what we said, which one's prioritized? Is it lower
? Is it
higher? If it's layer two, it's usually lower? If it's layer three, it's WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
higher? If it's layer two, it's usually lower? If it's layer three, it's
usually the higher
number wins. And so in our case, the lower number will win, because this is
layer two.
So this our expectation is going to be that gig zero two becomes our next one.
And so
if I do a show, either channel summary, let's see if gig zero two was picked.
And indeed
it was. So one and two are now part of the bundle, gig zero zero is down for
some reason.
We know why. And then gig zero three continues to remain in a hot standby state WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
We know why. And then gig zero three continues to remain in a hot standby state
. So that
is this lab challenge. This is a great environment with many different links
between switches
to just play around with these can play around with PGP if you want to, you can
, you know,
see that again, we just did the hot standby. But we've just got the ability to
do active
and passive configurations. So definitely take the time to make sure we've got
all this
configuration down before moving on. Otherwise, if I hope this has been
informative for you,
and I'd like to thank you for viewing.
Thank you for watching.
