LINK AGGREGATION COMMANDS
The link aggregation commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate parameters)
in the following table.
Link aggregation, also known as trunking, is a method of grouping physical link segments of the same media type and
speed, and treating them as if they were part of a single, logical link segment. In general, link aggregation provides two
important benefits: increased performance and increased resiliency.
Command
Parameters
create link_aggregation
group_id
<value 1-32> {type [lacp | static]}
delete link_aggregation group_id
<value 1-32>
config link_aggregation group_id
<value 1-32> {master_port <port> | ports <portlist> | state [enable | disable]}
config link_aggregation algorithm
[mac_source | mac_destination | mac_source_dest | ip_source | ip_destination |
ip_source_dest]
show link_aggregation
{group_id <value 1-32> | algorithm}
config lacp_port
<portlist> mode [active | passive]
show lacp_port
{<portlist>}
Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections.
create link_aggregation
Purpose
Used to create a link aggregation group on the Switch.
Syntax
create link_aggregation group_id <value 1-32> {type [lacp | static]}
Description
This command will create a link aggregation group with a unique identifier.
Parameters
<value>
−
Specifies the group ID. The Switch allows up to 32 link aggregation groups to be
configured. The group number identifies each of the groups.
type
– Specify the type of link aggregation used for the group. If the type is not specified the
default type is
static
.
1.
lacp
– This designates the port group as LACP compliant. LACP allows dynamic
adjustment to the aggregated port group. LACP compliant ports may be further
configured (see config lacp_ports). LACP compliant must be connected to LACP
compliant devices.
2.
static
– This designates the aggregated port group as static. Static port groups can not
be changed as easily as LACP compliant port groups since both linked devices must
be manually configured if the configuration of the trunked group is changed.
Restrictions
Only Administrator and Operator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To create a link aggregation group:
