configure sharing lacp system-priority

configure sharing port lacp system-priority priority

Description

Configures the system priority used by LACP for each LAG to establish the station on which end assumes priority in determining those LAG ports moved to the collecting/distributing state of the protocol. That end of the LAG with the lowest system priority is the one that assumes control of the determination. This is optional; if you do not configure this parameter, LACP uses system MAC values to determine priority. If you choose to configure this parameter, enter a value between 1 and 65535.

Syntax Description

port

Specifies the master logical port for the LAG you are setting the priority for.

priority

Enter the value you want for the priority of the system for the LACP. The range is 0 to 65535; there is no default.

Default

N/A.

Usage Guidelines

The LACP uses the system MAC values to assign priority to one of the systems, and that system then determines which LAG ports move into the collecting/distributing state and exchange traffic. That end of the LAG with the lowest system priority is the one that assumes control of the determination. If you wish to override the default LACP system priority for a specific LAG, use this command to assign that LAG a specific LACP priority. Enter a value between 0 and 65535.

You must enable sharing and create the LAG prior to assigning this LACP priority.

To verify the LACP system priority, use the show lacp command.

To change the system priority you previously assigned to a specific LAG, issue the configure sharing lacp system-priority command using the new priority you want. To remove the assigned system priority entirely and use the LACP priorities, issue the configure sharing lacp system-priority command using a value of 0.

Example

The following command assigns LAG 10 an LACP system priority of 3:

configure sharing 10 lacp system-priority 3
