Enabled/Disabled virtual interface?

bmccullough — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:21:08 GMT

I have two FAS3140 running NetApp Release 7.3.1.1. I am able to ping the IP addres of the first FAS but not the second FAS. The second FAS is reporting they virtual interface as disabled!?!

I can ping out of the second FAS to other devices but not the reverse.

Help and thanks.

Ok the sub-vitrual interface is not correct, getting closer...

Fixed. The issue was with the network settings on the cisco switches they FAS was plugged into.

Was:

interface GigabitEthernet1/25
channel-protocol lacp
channel-group 4 mode active
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/26
channel-protocol lacp
channel-group 4 mode active
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/27
channel-protocol lacp
channel-group 4 mode active
!

should of been;

interface GigabitEthernet1/25
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 340,344,348,351
switchport mode trunk
channel-protocol lacp
channel-group 4 mode active
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/26
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 340,344,348,351
switchport mode trunk
channel-protocol lacp
channel-group 4 mode active
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/27
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 340,344,348,351
