Configuration Commands

Link Aggregation Control Protocol configuration

The following table describes the LACP Configuration commands.

Table 115 LACP Configuration commands

Command

Description

 

 

lacp system-priority

Defines the priority value (1 through 65535) for the switch. Lower numbers provide

{<1-65535>}

higher priority. The default value is 32768.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

 

 

lacp timeout

Defines the timeout period before invalidating LACP data from a remote partner.

{shortlong}

Choose short (3 seconds) or long (90 seconds). The default value is long.

 

NOTE: HP recommends that you use a timeout value of long, to reduce LACPDU

 

processing. If your switch’s CPU utilization rate remains at 100% for periods of 90

 

seconds or more, consider using static trunks instead of LACP.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

 

 

show lacp

Display current LACP configuration.

 

Command mode: All

 

 

LACP Port configuration

The following table describes the LACP Port Configuration commands.

Table 116 LACP Port Configuration commands

CommandDescription

lacp mode {offactivepassive}

Set the LACP mode for this port, as follows:

off—Turn LACP off for this port. You can use this port to manually configure a static trunk. The default value is off.

active—Turn LACP on and set this port to active. Active ports initiate LACPDUs.

passive—Turn LACP on and set this port to passive. Passive ports do not initiate LACPDUs, but respond to LACPDUs from active ports.

Command mode: Global configuration

lacp priority {<1-65535>}

Sets the priority value for the selected port. Lower numbers provide higher

 

priority. Default is 128.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

 

 

lacp key {<1-65535>}

Set the admin key for this port. Only ports with the same admin key and oper

 

key (operational state generated internally) can form a LACP trunk group.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

 

 

show interface port

Displays the current LACP configuration for this port.
