Command Usage

Finish configuring a port trunk before you connect the corresponding network cables between switches.

You can configure up to six trunks, containing up to four ports as a dynamic LACP trunk.

All ports in the same trunk must consist of the same media type (i.e., twisted-pair or fiber).

The ports on both ends of trunk must be configured the same for speed and flow control.

The ports on both ends of trunk must also be configured for full duplex, either by forced mode or auto-negotiation.

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

If more than four 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.

STP, VLAN and IGMP settings can only be made for the entire trunk via the specified port-channel.

A trunk formed with another switch using LACP will automatically be assigned the next available port-channel id.
