SMC Networks 100BASE-TX, 16 10BASE-T manual Enabling Lacp on Selected Ports, 120

3 Configuring the Switch

CLI – This example creates trunk 2 with ports 1 and 2. Just connect these ports to two static trunk ports on another switch to form a trunk.

Console(config)#interface	port-channel 2	4-104
Console(config-if)#exit	ethernet 1/1
Console(config)#interface		4-104
Console(config-if)#channel-group 2		4-120
Console(config-if)#exit	ethernet 1/2
Console(config)#interface
Console(config-if)#channel-group 2
Console(config-if)#end
Console#show interfaces status port-channel 1		4-111

Enabling LACP on Selected Ports

Command Usage

•To avoid creating a loop in the network, be sure you enable LACP before connecting the ports, and also disconnect the ports before disabling LACP.

•If the target switch has also enabled LACP on the connected ports, the trunk will be activated automatically.

•A trunk formed with another switch using LACP will automatically be assigned the next available trunk ID.

•If more than eight ports attached to the same

target switch have LACP enabled, the additional ports will be placed in standby mode, and will only be enabled if one of the active links fails.

•All ports on both ends of an LACP trunk must be configured for full duplex, either by forced mode or auto-negotiation.
