LACP bond with Cisco N9K-C93180YC-EX ToR switches port flapping issue when using LACP

Hello All,

I have an HPE DL360 G10 with QLogic BCM5810 NICs in a bond. The Leaf switches in an MALG pair are mentioned in the title. We are connecting one port to each Leaf switch, setting up an LACP Team/VPC on host and switch side.

Once LACP is active we are getting "OK" status in Windows Teaming menu, but we are noticing port flapping at the switches. They are set to 90 second time out for LACP, as is the windows (I saw the post about registry editor for changing LACPTimeout value, which is set to 1 for 90 seconds which matches the switches).

On the Switches, which are in an MLAG, on one switch we are seeing steady LACP PDU, but on the other switch port in the pair we are seeing PDUs being sent from switch but no PDUs received from the Windows host. However, on that second switch, once LACP times out at 90 seconds we are getting 5 PDU packets at once, and then repeat of no PDUs until time out, then 5 PDUs again. This constantly repeats on only one switch.

Any thoughts on this? Anyone see the same thing or have a fix?

I do not have access to switches to check/modify config, only the Windows host, but the switch is configured correctly.

Thanks
