If desired, any of the example configurations can be performed on the Dell PowerConnect 5316M via the web based interface (WBI) as well. See the Dell PowerConnect 5316M Ethernet Switch Module Userʹs Guide for a description of the Dell WBI. See the section “Defining LAG Parameters” for information on configuring LAGs via the WBI. The Dell™ PowerConnect™ 5316M Command Line Interface (CLI) Guide and the Dell PowerConnect 5316M Ethernet Switch Module Userʹs Guide are located on the dell support website:

Link Aggregation with Gigabit Ethernet Cisco Switches

The following examples show minimal configurations necessary to establish a LAG between a Cisco IOS Gigabit Ethernet switch (Catalyst 3750), Cisco CatOS Ethernet switch (Catalyst 6509) and the Dell PowerConnect 5316M. These commands work without issue when starting from a default configuration of the switches.

To set the Dell PowerConnect 5316M to default configuration, use the following commands:

NOTE: This will erase any configuration data previously configured and reboot the switch.

5316M# delete startup-config

5316M# reload

To set a Cisco IOS based switch to default configuration, use the following commands:

NOTE: This will erase any configuration data previously configured and reboot the switch.

3750# delete flash:/config.text

3750# reload

To set a Cisco CatOS based switch (e.g. Catalyst 6509) to default configuration, use the following commands:

NOTE: This will erase any configuration data previously configured and reboot the switch.

Cat_6509 (enable) clear config all

Please see other sections of this paper for cases when it is impractical to reset the switches to factory defaults.

The Dell PowerConnect 5316M can support up to 8 different LAGs. A port channel can have from zero to six of the external ports as members. Internal ports can not be members of a LAG. The examples in this document show different numbers of ports in a LAG.

It is recommended that the ports disconnected during configuration. LAGs are set up.
