lacp admin-key (Port Channel)

This command configures a port channel's LACP administration key string. Use the no form to restore the default setting.

Syntax

lacp {actor partner} admin-key key [no] lacp {actor partner} admin-key

key - The port channel admin key is used to identify a specific link aggregation group (LAG) during local LACP setup on this switch. (Range: 0-65535)

Default Setting

0

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (Port Channel)

Command Usage

Ports are only allowed to join the same LAG if (1) the LACP system priority matches, (2) the LACP port admin key matches, and (3) the LACP port channel key matches (if configured).

If the port channel admin key (lacp admin key - Port Channel) is not set when a channel group is formed (i.e., it has the null value of 0), this key is set to the same value as the port admin key (lacp admin key - Ethernet Interface) used by the interfaces that joined the group. Note that when the LAG is no longer used, the port channel admin key is reset to 0.

Example

Console(config)#interface port-channel 1

Console(config-if)#lacp actor admin-key 3

Console(config-if)#

4-168
