CE1000, CE2000, and CE3000 support the use of Link Aggregation (LAG) for the data ports. LAG interfaces increase link throughput and provide redundancy in case of a link failure.
To deploy the feature, you must configure LACP-based LAG on Universal Compute Platform and then complete a matching static LAG configuration in ExtremeCloud IQ Controller with the same LAG port members in both configurations. After the feature is configured, LACP LAG on Universal Compute Platform creates and manages the aggregated link, and the CE deployment's static LAG runs on that link.
Note
CE1000, CE2000, and CE3000 support static LAG only. Universal Compute Platform supports LACP LAG only.To configure LAG for a CE deployment, complete the configuration in the following table.
| Step | Action | More Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Configure LAG data ports on the Universal Compute Platform host. |
See "Configure LAG Ports" in Universal Compute Platform User Guide. |
| 2 | Configure LAG on ExtremeCloud IQ Controller. Make sure that the configured LAG ports are the same as on the host. |
See "LAG Configuration" in ExtremeCloud IQ Controller User Guide. |
Note
LAG configuration on Universal Compute Platform can be completed before or after the CE installation.
Make sure that the LAG configuration on Universal Compute Platform is saved before you configure LAG on ExtremeCloud IQ Controller.
