Unable to get port-channel up in beta3?

[wetwilly]

Hello.

Decided to try out the 2.0 beta 3 and encountered problems with getting port-channel, bond0 interface up correctly with my cisco 3560g switch.
I couldnt find any "known bugs" for the beta so Im wondering if anyone managed to get port-channel working correctly in beta?

I had port-channel up and running smoothly on my previous stable install (although with different NIC).

The issue I'm experiencing is that the interfaces goes up, but the port-channel stays down. No mac-adresses are visible on any interface on the switch.

Gi0/1 LACP_Proxmox connected trunk a-full a-1000 10/100/1000BaseTX
Gi0/2 LACP_Proxmox connected trunk a-full a-1000 10/100/1000BaseTX

Po1 LACP_Proxmox notconnect trunk a-full a-1000


This is my config

sh run int gi0/1
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
description LACP_Proxmox
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,10,100
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode desirable (also tried auto)
end

Has noone tried port-channel on beta?

Right now I'm running each nic for itself and its working nice, but would like to get that port-channel up.

To anyone that got it to work, do you use channel-group mode desirable or mode auto?

Decided to give this another go and got the port-channel up on the cisco with Etherchannel only.

channel-group 1 mode on

On my earlier Intel NIC's I've been using mode active. Guess this is a feature in the latest Intel igb driver or maybe LACP á la cisco not supported at all.
