Unusual Network Activity

2. Switch Management Address Information
LACP-Related Problems
Unable to enable LACP on a port with the interface [ e ] < port-number > lacp
command. In this case, the switch displays the following message:
Operation is not allowed for a trunked port.
You cannot enable LACP on a port while it is configured as static Trunk or FEC
trunked port. To enable LACP on static-trunked port, first use the
no trunk [ e ] < port-number > command to disable the static trunk assignment,
then execute interface [ e ] < port-number > lacp.
Caution Removing a port from a trunk without first disabling the port can create a
traffic loop that can slow down or halt your network. Before removing a port
from a trunk, HP recommends that you either disable the port or disconnect
it from the LAN.
Mesh-Related Problems
Traffic on a dynamic VLAN does not get through the switch mesh .
GVRP enables dynamic VLANs. Ensure that all switches in the mesh have
GVRP enabled. (Note that HP Procurve 1600M/2400M/2424M/4000M/8000M
switches do not offer GVRP. Thus, if there are any of these switches in the
mesh, GVRP must be disabled for any Series 5300XL switches in the mesh.)
