Port Trunking

Port Status and Configuration

Syntax: no interface <port-list> lacp

In this example, port C6 belongs to an operating, dynamic LACP trunk. To remove port C6 from the dynamic trunk and return it to passive LACP, you would do the following:

HPswitch>(config)# no interface c6 lacp

HPswitch>(config)# interface c6 lacp passive

Note that in the above example, if the port on the other end of the link is configured for active LACP or static LACP, the trunked link will be reestablished almost immediately.

Web: Viewing Existing Port Trunk Groups

While the web browser interface does not enable you to configure a port trunk group, it does provide a view of an existing trunk group.

To view any port trunk groups:

Click on the Status tab.

Click on Port Status.

Trunk Group Operation Using LACP

The switch can automatically configure a dynamic LACP trunk group or you can manually configure a static LACP trunk group.

N o t e

LACP requires full-duplex (FDx) links of the same media type (10/100Base-T,

 

100FX, etc.) and the same speed, and enforces speed and duplex conformance

 

across a trunk group.

 

LACP trunk status commands include:
