show ports sharing

show ports port_listsharing distribution configuration

Description

Displays port load-sharing groups, or link aggregation groups (LAGs).

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or variables.

Default

N/A.

Usage Guidelines

Output from this command displays the following information:
  • Config Master—The port that is configured as the master logical port of the link aggregation group (LAG). This number is also the LAG group ID.

  • Current Master—In LACP, this is the port that is currently the LAG group ID, or master logical port for the LAG.

  • Agg Control—This is the aggregation control for the specified LAG; it can be either static, LACP or health-check. In LACP, it is the aggregation control for the specified LAG.

  • Min Active—The minimum number of active links that must be up for the trunk to remain up.

  • Ld Share Algorithm—The algorithm used for the link aggregation. The available link aggregation algorithms vary among platforms; see the for more information.

  • Flags—Distribution mode flags: A - All: Distribute to all members, L - Local: Distribute to members local to ingress slot, P - Port Lists: Distribute to per-slot configurable subset of members.
  • Ld Share Group—The specific ports that belong to each LAG, or the port numbers in the trunk. A port can belong to only one LAG, either static or dynamic.

  • Agg Mbr—In LACP, this shows whether the port has been added to the aggregator or not; it will be either Y for yes or - for no.

  • Link State—This is the current status of the link.

  • Link Up transitions—Number of times the link has cycled through being up, then down, then up.

Example

Following is sample output displaying link aggregation on a Summit series switch:

Load Sharing Algorithm: (L2) Layer 2 address based, (L3) Layer 3 address based 
                        (L3_L4) Layer 3 address and Layer 4 port based

Distribution Mode Flags:

        L - Local: Distribute to members local to ingress slot 
        P - Port Lists: Distribute to per-slot configurable subset of members 
Number of load sharing trunks: 4
