Interface description is one of the most important configuration when bringing up interfaces between two devices. In a bundle or port-channel interface, there is a way to find the partner interface or which member in that bundle is your interface or port is connected especially if there’s no description or outdated. Here are the steps and commands to find LACP partner interface or port in Cisco Router and Switch Fig1.1 (Cisco IOS-XR)     Assuming we have this Fig1.1, two…

Link Aggregation Control Protocol or  IEEE 802.3ad (LACP) is an open standard of Ethernet link aggregation protocol. It is a method used by routers/switches to automatically establish link aggregation groups or LAG ( sometimes called as channel groups, bundle or port-channels). Here’s LACP configuration examples for different Cisco platforms using LACP active mode, where it places a port into an active negotiating state and sending LACPDU (Data units) at regular intervals to seek out partners IOS (Catalyst 4500) Configuration: interface…

As per Cisco definition: Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) provides redundancy for IP networks, ensuring that user traffic immediately and transparently recovers from first hop router failures. HSRP allows multiple routers on a single LAN to share a virtual IP and MAC address which is configured as the default gateway on the hosts. From the group of routers configured in an HSRP group, there is one router elected as the active router and another as a standby router. The active…

As per Cisco official site definition of FPD: An FPD refers to any programmable hardware device on a router, which includes a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and Read Only Memory Monitor (ROMMON). Cisco IOS® XR routers use a number of FPDs that are crucial for the function of route processors, line cards, shared port adapters (SPAs), SPA Interface Processors (SIPs), and fan trays.Sample of upgrading fpd in ASR9000 running in IOS-XR. Linecard used is 24x10GE Tomahawk linecard.A. Check first…
