Configuration result:
Add ports 1, 2, 3 of Switch 1 to port-group 1 in order, and we can see joining a group in “on” mode
is completely forced action, switch in other ends won’t exchange LACP PDU to complete
aggregation. Aggregation finishes immediately when the command to add port 2 to port-group 1 is
entered, port 1 and port 2 aggregate to be port-channel 1, when port 3 joins port-group 1,
port-channel 1 of port 1 and 2 are ungrouped and re-aggregate with port 3 to form port-channel 1. (it
should be noted that whenever a new port joins in an aggregated port group, the group will be
ungrouped first and re-aggregated to form a new group. Now all three ports in both Switch 1 and
Switch 2 are aggregated in “on” mode and become an aggregated port respectively.
