NOTE: This is different from the Cisco IOS and CatOS methods which would require that all the ports in the LAG be configured to 100 Mbps and full duplex rather than setting the LAG to 100Mbps. Configuring all ports in a LAG to 100 Mbps and full duplex on the Dell PowerConnect 5316M would have no effect since the LAG configuration takes precedence. It is important to note this distinction between the Dell CLI and the Cisco IOS and CatOS commands.

Use the following commands to set the ports on the Cisco IOS switch to 100Mbps and full duplex:

2950(config)# interface range FastEthernet 0/1 - 3

2950(config-if)# speed 100

2950(config-if)# duplex full

Use the following commands to set the ports on the Cisco CatOS switch to 100Mbps and full duplex:

Cat_6509> (enable) set port speed 2/9-11 100

Cat_6509> (enable) set port duplex 2/9-11 full

Configuration Limitations

Ports to be aggregated must be configured so that they are compatible with the link aggregation feature and with the partner switch they are to be connected to.

For the Dell PowerConnect 5316M the following limitations apply to aggregated ports. The commands to remove the configuration are shown below each limitation.

The port cannot have an IP address defined on it

5316M(config)# interface Ethernet g11 5316M(config-if)# no ip address

The port cannot belong to another LAG

5316M(config)# interface Ethernet g11 5316M(config-if)# no channel-group

The port cannot be a mirrored port

5316M(config)# interface Ethernet g11 5316M(config-if)# no port monitor gxx

The port cannot have GVRP enabled

5316M(config)# interface Ethernet g11 5316M(config-if)# no gvrp enable

The port cannot belong to an access VLAN (other than the default VLAN, 1)

5316M(config)# interface Ethernet g11 5316M(config-if)# no switchport access vlan

The port cannot belong to a trunk VLAN (other than the default VLAN 1)

5316M(config)# interface Ethernet g11 5316M(config-if)# no switchport trunk native vlan

The internal switch ports (g1-g10) cannot be part of a LAG
