Configure LST

Procedure

  1. Enter Global Configuration mode:

    enable

    configure terminal

  2. Configure the LST group upstream and downstream interface members:

    link-state group <1–48> <upstream | downstream> interface gigabitEthernet {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...][slot/all][all]}

  3. Configure the LST group upstream and downstream mlt members:

    link-state group <1–48> <upstream | downstream> mlt <1-512>

  4. Enable the group:

    link-state group <1–48> enable

  5. Display the status of the groups:

    show link-state group <1–48> [detail]

Example

The following example shows an LST group created with ports 1–4 and mlt 1 as upstream members and ports 11–14 and mlt 2 as downstream members. The LST group is enabled. Because port 1 is up, the LST group receives an up operational state and the downstream interfaces are enabled. Upstream ports 2, 4 and mlt 1 have VLACP admin enabled and are listed in the VLACP Upstream State section.

Switch:1> enable
Switch:1# configure terminal
Switch:1(config)# link-state group 1 upstream interface gigabitEthernet 1/1-1/4
Switch:1(config)# link-state group 1 upstream mlt 1
Switch:1(config)# link-state group 1 downstream interface gigabitEthernet 1/11-1/14
Switch:1(config)# link-state group 1 downstream mlt 2
Switch:1(config)# link-state group 1 enable
Switch:1(config)# show link-state group 1

Variable definitions

Use the data in the following table to use the link-state command.

Variable

Value

enable

Activates the action specified for the LST group or specified interfaces.

group <1–48>

Specifies a LST group ID.

interface gigabitEthernet {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...][slot/all][all]}

Adds ports to the specified upstream or downstream LST group.

Identifies the slot and port in one of the following formats:

  • a single slot and port (slot/port)

  • a range of slots and ports (slot/port-slot/port)

  • a series of slots and ports (slot/port,slot/port,slot/port)

  • all ports on the same slot (slot/all)

  • all ports on the switch (all)

If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.

mlt <1–512>

Adds an MLT to the specified upstream or downstream LSTgroup.

<upstream | downstream>

Specifies the upstream or downstream interfaces in the LST group.

Use the data in the following table to use the show link-state command.

Variable

Value

detail

Displays the specified LST group status as enabled or disabled and if the operational status is up or down. Detail displays LST group additional information.
