I cannot not make trunk interface.

Hi All,

 

 

 

I have a BIG-IP 2000s and a 4000s. I would like to make trunk port with port 2.1 and 2.2. However as the image, I cannot do it with the error messages, "Interface 2.2 media is incompatible with other trunk members"

 

I tried the following actions;

 

  • After installing the new OS on the other volume, I try to make trunk with port 2.1 and 2.2
  • After I delete all of trunk port and I try to create trunk again.
  • After type "tmsh load sys config file default" command and log on and then try to create trunk port with port 2.1 and 2.2.

I cannot be resolved with above the actions. Both BIG-IP 2000s and 4000s have same issue. However, except port 2.1 and 2.2, I can create the trunk port with the other ports.

 

Is there anyone who has been experiencing this problem?

 

Help

 

Thank you

    The interfaces are disabled - try enabling them and getting them to an Up state. Check that they have the same SFP in them as well.
