Implementing Link Aggregation

To implement link aggregation:

  • Enable LACP on the network device
  • Optionally set a non-default system priority for the device
  • Optionally change the administratively assigned key for each port on the device
  • Optionally enable single port LAGs on the device
  • Enable LACP port active state on all ports that will take part in link aggregation
  • Optionally change LAG parameters on each port
  • Optionally change how flows will behave when changes take place to the LAG
  • Optionally change the load balancing behavior for flows over the LAG
  • Optionally assign static ports to a LAG when the partner device only supports a non-LACP method of aggregation
