    Hi

    Would any one please clarify of my below two queries.

     

    Does link aggregation possible to configure with below format

       Aruba 3810M internal port?

       Aruba 3810M switch to another Aruba 3810M switch?

       Aruba 3810M switch to Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches?

     

    PoE and non PoE port combination available within Aruba switch series?

       e.g. 24 port switch where 12 port PoE enable and rest non PoE

     

    Thanks

    Link aggregation is possible between two or more 3810M switches that are stacked with the backplane stacking modules and cables.

     

    Any 3810M switch can be in the stack (eg POE and non-POE models).

    Hi!

     

    Link(s) Aggregation is called "Port Trunking" in HP/HPE jargon...it means that if you want to aggregate two or more physical links together (up to eight, generally) using a Non Protocol link aggregation control (means no control) way or a Protocol based link aggregation control (means using LACP)...you just need to use the "trunk" command (see ArubaOS-Switch manuals like this).

     

    On the other end the peer switch (or switches, if you terminate your physical links against a stack AKA a virtual switch) needs to be configured the same way: Cisco calls the link(s) aggregation "EtherChannel" either on Nexus (see also here and here as examples)...so you just know how to set both side of the Link(s) Aggregation.

     

    Mind that, you can also originate a Link(s) Aggregation interface from a Stack other than terminating it on another Stack.
