Chapter 12: LACP Commands
208
Description
This command creates an LACP aggregator.
Caution
Do not connect the cables to the ports of the aggregator on the
switch until after you have configured the aggregator with the
management software and enabled LACP. Connecting the cables
before configuring the software and activating the protocol will
create a loop in your network topology. Data loops can result in
broadcast storms and poor network performance.
Note
Before creating an aggregator, verify that the ports that will be
members of the aggregator are set to Auto-Negotiation or 100
Mbps, full-duplex. Aggregate trunks do not support half-duplex
mode.
Examples
The following command creates an LACP aggregator named “agg_1” of
ports 1 through 4 and an adminkey of 4. The load distribution method is
source MAC address:
create lacp aggregator=agg_1 adminkey=0x4 port=1-4
distribution=macsrc
The following command creates an LACP aggregator named
“lacp_trunk1” of ports 10, 12, and 15 to 18. The adminkey number is
0x7A. No load distribution method is specified; the source and
destination MAC addresses load distributed method is used by default:
create lacp aggregator=lacp_trunk1 adminkey=0x7A
port=10,12,15-18
