You can configure minimum number of
link on a port channel. You can provide an optional "min-link-count" for each XCO port
channel when you create or update a port channel.
About this task
Follow this procedure to configure
minimum link count on a port channel.Default value of minimum link count
(min-link-count) for a port-channel is 1, which is equal to the SLX default value.
When you update the min-link-count attribute, XCO validates the port count on port
channel member and minimum link count on each device.
Note
During upgrade from EFA 2.5.5 to the above versions
of EFA, the min-link-count for the
port-channels is set to the default value 1.
- Empty port channel:
EFA 2.5.5 and above does
not support empty port channel. Therefore, during upgrade from EFA 2.5.5 to the above
versions of EFA, all the empty port
channels are marked with “delete-pending” state.
- Non-empty port
channel: During upgrade from EFA 2.5.5 to the above
versions of EFA, all the non-empty port
channels get configured with the default value (1) of
min-link-count,
and displayed in the efa tenant po show command output.
- Single Homed to Dual Homed
port channel conversion is not allowed in EFA 2.5.5 and above.
Procedure
-
To configure minimum link count
when you create a port channel, run the following command:
efa tenant po create --name <po-name> --tenant <tenant-name> --description <po-description>
--speed <100Mbps|1Gbps|10Gbps|25Gbps|40Gbps|100Gbps> --negotiation <active|passive|static>
--port <list-of-po-members> --min-link-count <min-link-count>
--number <po-number> --lacp-timeout <short|long>
-
To configure minimum link count
when you update a port channel, run the following command:
efa tenant po update --name <po-name> --tenant <tenant-name>
--operation <port-add|port-delete|lacp-timeout|description|min-link-count>
--port <list-of-po-members> --lacp-timeout string <short|long> --min-link-count <min-link-count>
--description <po-description>
The following example configures minimum link count during port channel
create and update operations:
efa tenant po create --name ten1po1 --tenant ten1 --port 10.20.246.15[0/1-2],10.20.246.16[0/1-2]
--speed 10Gbps --negotiation active --description tenant1po1 --min-link-count 2
efa tenant po create --name ten1po2 --tenant ten1 --port 10.20.246.15[0/3],10.20.246.16[0/3]
--speed 10Gbps --negotiation active
efa tenant po update --name ten1po1 --tenant ten1 --operation port-delete --port
10.20.246.15[0/1],10.20.246.16[0/1] --min-link-count 1
efa tenant po update --name ten1po1 --tenant ten1 --operation port-add --port
10.20.246.15[0/1],10.20.246.16[0/1] --min-link-count 2
efa tenant po update --name ten1po1 --tenant ten1 --operation min-link-count --min-link-count 1
efa tenant po update --name ten1po1 --tenant ten1 --operation min-link-count --min-link-count 2
