lacp auto

Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) enables bundling of multiple ethernet links into a single logical bundle that provides better performance and redundancy than single links. LCAP can only be configured on port-channel interfaces. Use this command to enable auto generation of ESI for these LACP configured port-channel interfaces. The ESI is a 10-octet Hexadecimal identifier based on LACP partner system identifier and port key. The same local port-channel id should be used by the multi-homed leaf peers on links connected to the same host.

Syntax

lacp auto
[no] lacp auto

Parameters

auto
Enable auto assignment of ESI to the LACP enabled port-channel interface.

Modes

Ethernet Segment mode within the port-channel interface mode.

This command is only available for Port Channels.

Usage Guidelines

Generates a 10-octet hexadecimal ESI value based on LACP partner system identifier and port key.

The no format of this command removes the ethernet segment identifier associated with this LACP port-channel.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable auto assignment of ESI for a LACP enabled port-channel interface.

SLX(config)# interface Port-channel 1
SLX(config-Port-channel-1)# ethernet-segment
SLX(config-Port-channel-1-es)# lacp auto
