LINK AGGREGATION COMMANDS

Command Usage

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

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

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

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.

Example

The following shows LACP enabled on ports 10-12. Because LACP has also been enabled on the ports at the other end of the links, the show interfaces status port-channel 1 command shows that Trunk1 has been established.

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/10 Console(config-if)#lacp Console(config-if)#exit Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/11 Console(config-if)#lacp Console(config-if)#exit Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/12 Console(config-if)#lacp Console(config-if)#exit Console(config)#exit
