Configuring Link Aggregation Groups

LAGs allow you to combine (aggregate) multiple network connections in parallel to increase throughput beyond what a single connection could sustain, and allows you to provide redundancy if a links fails. It is highly recommended that you implement LAGs in your OpenFlow network to take advantage of the resiliency that LAGs provide.

  1. Log on to the desired switch. When the command prompt appears, type the following commands.
  2. Type enable sharing port grouping port_list, where port is the master logical port (LAG group ID) for the port group port_list. This command defines a load-sharing group, or LAG, by assigning a group of ports to a single, logical port number.
