Dell 5316M manual Confirming a successful Static Link Aggregation connection

Page 10

Cisco CatOS CLI allows the configuration of static LAGs via the LACP or the PAgP CLI commands. Both commands are shown below.

The following example shows the Cisco CatOS CLI LACP channelprotocol commands for configuring three ports of the Cisco switch for static link aggregation.

Cat_6509(enable) set channelprotocol lacp 2

Cat_6509(enable) set port lacp-channel 2/1-6 mode on

The first command sets module 2 to use the LACP commands to configure LAGs. Since we are defining a static LAG, the setting for the ‘channelprotocol’ does not matter (more on this below). The second command configures the three Ethernet ports (2/9 through 2/11) into a static LAG. Static LAGs do not use LACP and are defined in the Cisco CLI by setting the lacp-channel mode to ‘on’.

The following example shows the Cisco CatOS CLI PAgP channelprotocol commands for configuring three ports of the Cisco switch for static link aggregation using the PAgP command.

Cat_6509(enable) set channelprotocol pagp 2

Cat_6509(enable) set port channel 2/1-6 mode on

The first command sets module 2 to use the PaGP commands to configure LAGs. As we mentioned before, since we are defining a static LAG, the setting for the ‘channelprotocol’ does not matter. The second command configures the three Ethernet ports (2/9 through 2/11) into a static LAG. Static LAGs do not use PAgP and are defined in the Cisco CLI by setting the channel mode to ‘on’.

The number of channel-groups supported by Cisco switches depends on the switch model.

Confirming a successful Static Link Aggregation connection

Since LACP is not being used, only careful inspection of the Cisco and PowerConnect 5316M configurations can confirm that a static LAG has been established. The following steps may be helpful:

oCheck cabling is to correct ports on both switches o Check that all LAG ports have link

o Confirm via the Dell and Cisco switches’ “show running-config” commands, that the desired ports are in the LAG

5316M# show running-config 3750# show running-config
