    Posted Apr 15, 2025 02:58 AM

    Hello!

    I'm trying to build a trunked uplink with a HPE 2530 and CX 6000 switch. The 2530 is configured as below.

    HP-2530-48G-PoEP                                           14-Apr-2025  12:31:55
    ===========================- TELNET - MANAGER MODE -============================
                       Switch Configuration - Port/Trunk Settings

      Port     Type      Enabled      Mode      Flow Ctrl  Group  Type
      ----  ---------- + -------  ------------  ---------  -----  -----
     ...
      51    1000SX     | Yes      Auto          Disable    Trk5   LACP
      52    1000SX     | Yes      Auto          Disable    Trk5   LACP

    HP-2530-48G-PoEP                                           14-Apr-2025  12:34:51
    ===========================- TELNET - MANAGER MODE -============================
                   Switch Configuration - VLAN - VLAN Port Assignment

      Port   DEFAULT_VLAN   Management    WLAN_GAST        DMZ         Testnetz
      ---- + ------------  ------------  ------------  ------------  ------------>
    ...
      Trk5 | Untagged      Tagged        Tagged        No            No

    Where Default_VLAN = 1; Management = 2; WLAN_GAST = 3; DMZ = 144; Testnetz = 145; vMotion = 192

    How is this configuration done with the CX 6000 switch as the menu function in CLI is missing?

    Hi!

    Example (Logical interface lag1 made of physical interfaces 1/1/49 and 1/1/50):

    interface lag 1
        no shutdown
        description lag1 uplink to trk5 Aruba 2530
        no routing
        vlan trunk native 1
        vlan trunk allowed 1,2,3,144,...  <--- place here the full list of (existing) VLANs you need to allow on the lag1 [*]
        lacp mode active
        spanning-tree loop-guard

    interface 1/1/49
        no shutdown
        mtu 9100
        description Interface-1-1-49-lag1
        lag 1

    interface 1/1/50
        no shutdown
        mtu 9100
        description Interface-1-1-50-lag1
        lag 1

    You should use similar interfaces on Aruba CX 6000 side, the type and speed should be identical on both ends (e.g. a pair of 1 Gbps optical Short Range Transceivers on Aruba 2530 side and a pair of 1 Gbps optical Short Range Transceivers on Aruba CX 6000 side).

    [*] At Aruba 2530 side check with show vlan ports ethernet Trk5 detail to see the VLANs membership of the trk5 logical interface.
