Link Aggregation Configuration 75
Link Aggregation
Configuration Example
Networking Requirement
Switch A connects Switch B with three aggregation ports, numbered as Ethernet1/0/1
to Ethernet1/0/3, so that incoming/outgoing load can be balanced among the
member ports.

Configuration Procedure
The following only lists the configuration for Switch A; configure Switch B similarly.
1Manual link aggregation
aCreate manual aggregation group 1.
[SW5500]link-aggregation group 1 mode manual
bAdd Ethernet ports Ethernet1/0/1 to Ethernet1/0/3 into aggregation group 1.
[SW5500]interface ethernet1/0/1
[SW5500-Ethernet1/0/1]port link-aggregation group 1
[SW5500-Ethernet1/0/1]interface ethernet1/0/2
[SW5500-Ethernet1/0/2]port link-aggregation group 1
[SW5500-Ethernet1/0/2]interface ethernet1/0/3
[SW5500-Ethernet1/0/3]port link-aggregation group 1
2Static LACP aggregation
aCreate static LACP aggregation group 1.
[SW5500]link-aggregation group 1 mode static
bAdd Ethernet ports Ethernet1/0/1 to Ethernet1/0/3 into aggregation group 1.
[SW5500]interface ethernet1/0/1
[SW5500-Ethernet1/0/1]port link-aggregation group 1
[SW5500-Ethernet1/0/1]interface ethernet1/0/2
[SW5500-Ethernet1/0/2]port link-aggregation group 1
[SW5500-Ethernet1/0/2]interface ethernet1/0/3
[SW5500-Ethernet1/0/3]port link-aggregation group 1
3Dynamic LACP aggregation
aEnable LACP at Ethernet ports Ethernet1/0/1 to Ethernet1/0/3.
[SW5500]interface ethernet1/0/1
[SW5500-Ethernet1/0/1]lacp enable
[SW5500-Ethernet1/0/1]interface ethernet1/0/2
[SW5500-Ethernet1/0/2]lacp enable
[SW5500-Ethernet1/0/2]interface ethernet1/0/3
[SW5500-Ethernet1/0/3]lacp enable
