Solution
There are 2 typical deployments with the mgmt lag:
- A single link on each FIM: 1-mgmt1 and 2-mgmt1 connected.
- All mgmt ports connected: 1-mgmt1/2/3/4 and 2-mgmt1/2/3/4 connected.
One single link on each FIM, for a standalone device
On the switch side, Port1 and Port2 must be in the same VLAN in access/native mode.
One single link on each FIM, for a HA device
On the switch side, Port1 Port2 Port3, and Port4, must be in the same VLAN in access/native mode.
Multiple Connections in HA context
On the switch side, Port1 and Port2 are members of the same PortChannel. Port3 and Port4 in another PortChannel. Port5 and Port6 in a different PortChannel. The same for Port7 and Port8 which must be in a further PortChannel.
All PortChannels must be in the same VLAN in access/native mode.
