LINK AGGREGATION COMMANDS

•Once the remote side of a link has been established, LACP operational settings are already in use on that side. Configuring LACP settings for the partner only applies to its administrative state, not its operational state, and will only take effect the next time an aggregate link is established with the partner.

Example

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5

Console(config-if)#lacp actor admin-key 120

Console(config-if)#

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.

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.
