To configure LACP, you must, again, first create a LAG. The first port in the LAG serves as the logical port for the LAG. This is
the reference port used in configuration commands. It can be thought of as the logical port
representing the entire port group, and it serves as the LAG Group ID.
-
Create a LAG using:
enable
sharing port grouping port_list {algorithm [address-based {L2 | L3 | L3_L4 | custom} | port-based }]}
{lacp | health-check}
The port you assign using the first parameter becomes the logical
port for the link aggregation group and the LAG Group ID when using
LACP. This logical port must also be included in the port list of
the grouping itself.
-
If you want to override the default prioritization in LACP
for a specified LAG, use:
configure
sharing port lacp system-priority priority
This step is optional; LACP handles prioritization using system
MAC addresses.
-
Add or delete ports to the LAG as desired using:
configure
sharing port add ports port_list
-
Override the ports selection for joining the LAG by
configuring a priority for a port within a LAG by using the command:
configure
lacp member-port port priority port_priority
-
Change the expiry timer using:
configure
sharing port lacp timeout [long | short]
The default value for the timeout is long, or 90 seconds.
-
Change the activity mode using:
configure
sharing port lacp activity-mode [active | passive]
The default value for the activity mode is active.
-
Configure the action the switch takes for defaulted LAG
ports.
configure
sharing port lacp defaulted-state-action [add | delete]
The default value for defaulted LAG ports is delete the default
ports.
Note
Always verify the LACP configuration by issuing the
show ports sharing command; look for the ports listed as being in the
aggregator.
