Hi, We are having problems connecting our Nexus 2k to HP server ports in LACP mode (channel-group mode active). The below is snippet from logs, before the port goes into suspended mode. Hi, I've not come across the first message before, but the second message (%LACP-FEX104-5-LACPSUSPENDINDIVIDUAL) is because the switch is not seeing any LACPDU (Link Aggregation Control Protocol Data Units) on the link from the server. What teaming mode options do you have on the server? You need something like 802.3ad Dynamic, which means it will be running an IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregate with LACP as the control protocol.

Note that you might see references to 802.1ax instead of 802.3ad as that's the correct name for the link aggregation standard these days. Hi, I'm not sure if you already found this, but the first error is documented, for the Nexus 5000 series at least in the: Error Message: LACP-3-SYNCOLLDISEN: chars chars: SYNC, COLLECT and DISTRIBUTE flags enabled too early by partner Explanation: Potential interop issue. Partner system seems to have enabled sync as well collecting or distributing flags too early even before actor has selected an aggregator Recommended Action: No action is required. I just love the Recommended Action The message is indicating that the LACPDU from the server has the Synchronise, Collecting and Distributing flags all set on the first LACPDU it receives. When the link is first established the LACPDU is only supposed to have the Synchronise flag set, with the Collecting and Distributing flags set once the switch and host are sync'd. There's a prety good diagram of this at in the Bringing Links Up section. On the basis of this it would seem this is possibly a bug in the Broadcom driver.

I see on the Broadcom website that version 15.6.0.10 of the driver is available. Are you able to try that driver on this server? This issue is VERY common.
