Comware

Hi Team,

        Could you clarifiy the following doubt , HSR 6802 whether can support for bridge aggregation?. Here we need to configre link aggregation between HSR 6800 and HPE 5900 switch. Could you confirm on this asap.

In my H3C lab, MSR 3620 is avaiable , In the router Bridgr aggregation command not availble. Please sugges on this..

Thanks

Hi @Muthukumar1 !

If your router is running Comware 7, then it should have this command - https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=c03890429&docLocale=en_US , Page 29. But you must have a line card (LPU Module) that either has Layer 2 (bridged) interfaces or interfaces that can be converted to bridged with command "port link-mode bridge".

Also, keep in mind that you can connect BAGG on 5900 to a RAGG with sub-interfaces on HSR6800, because technically these two configs are equal:

Configuration #1:

interface Bridge-Aggregation1 
link-aggregation mode dynamic
port link-type trunk 
port trunk permit vlan 10 20
#
inteface Vlan-interface10
 ip address 10.0.10.1 24
#
inteface Vlan-interface20
 ip address 10.0.20.1 24

Configuration #2:

interface Route-aggregation1
 link-aggregation mode dynamic
#
interface Route-aggregation1.10
 vlan-type dot1q vid 10
 ip address 10.0.10.1 24
#
interface Route-aggregation1.20
 vlan-type dot1q vid 20
 ip address 10.0.20.1 24

However, if you don't feel comfortable with BAGG-to-RAGG config, keep it simple and use BAGG on both sides if available. Aslo you must use BAGG-to-BAGG when on the HSR6800 you have other ports except aggregation in Vlans that traverses the aggregation like VLAN 10 and 20 in my scenario. So BAGG-to-RAGG is ok when you need to terminate VLAN on the HSR.

Hi team,

         Thanks for your clarification and in my H3c lab MSR 36-20 Router is avaible. In the router, Bridge aggregation command not availble even com 7.1 software version. Pl. find the following outut for your reference..

Device Details:

DEVICE_NAME:MSR36-20
DEVICE_SERIAL_NUMBER:DPPMWWB76

VENDOR_NAME:H3C

Firmware Version Details:

Boot image: flash:/msr36-cmw710-boot-a5901.bin

Try to configure BAGG Configuration:

I didn't say MSR36-20 has this command, I confirmed HSR6802 should have it. Also, this MSR is not known to me, this is H3C's product number, HPE uses different numbers, I guess we have analogue from MSR3000 series, but I couldn't find any information about it. I doubt it was bought from HPE, to be honest. So, unfortunately, I can't say nothing about this MSR36-20, but the command reference guide for HSR6800 clearly states that "interface Bridge-Aggregation" should be there. Just FYI - Comware 7 is not a single image for all devices. Instead, every device family or even a device has its own version of Comware 7 even sometimes with slightly different feature sets. Therefore we can't judge HSR by looking at MSR.

OK. Thanks for information..
