All links show up, but a server on the 90 vlan is still not reachable. Am I missing anything here. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,

 

What is the server that us unreachable?

If it is just the one server; Have you confirmed it is configured correctly?

 

Could you post your #show running-configuration?

Hello Charles,

Yes I can confirm that the server is configured correctly.

The issue is that when I remove the ports from the VLT domain, It gives me pings for like 10 seconds before something is blocking the comms. 

!
interface port-channel110
 description To_Nexus9k
 no shutdown
 switchport access vlan 90
 vlt-port-channel 110

interface ethernet1/1/31
 no shutdown
 channel-group 110 mode active
 no switchport
 flowcontrol receive off
 flowcontrol transmit off
!
interface ethernet1/1/32
 no shutdown
 channel-group 110 mode active
 no switchport
 flowcontrol receive off
 flowcontrol transmit off

This is the config in the Dell.

Hi,

 

I'm not very sure if the configuration are correct, might need the support to check on it. I found this article, would this help? https://dell.to/49CafCI

 

Try doing a # show vlt 1 vlt-port-detail to check port channel is up. Also do a # show vlt 1 to check verification.

Hello Joey,

Yes here are the details.

show vlt 1 vlt-port-detail
vlt-port-channel ID : 110
VLT Unit ID    Port-Channel      Status    Configured ports    Active ports
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 1            port-channel110    up        2                   2
  2            port-channel110    up        2                   2

On both checks, VLT is up.. 

the weird part is that when i take the VLT down, I get momentary access to the switch for 11 pings before it goes down again. This happens when i take the vpc down on cisco end or the vlt down on dell end. Its after the reconvergence that drops the packets. What could be the suspect here ?
