Dynamic link aggregation
Table 63 shows examples of the ports from Figure 32 that will be eligible for an aggregate link
based on individual port states.
As shown in these examples, all or a subset of the ports within a port range will be eligible for
formation into an aggregate link based on port states. Notice that the sets of ports that are eligible
for the aggregate link must be valid static trunk configurations.
Enabling dynamic link aggregation
By default, link aggregation is disabled on all ports. To enable link aggregation on a set of ports,
enter commands such as the following at the Interface configuration level of the CLI.
NOTE
Configuration commands for link aggregation differ depending on whether you are using the default
link aggregation key automatically assigned by the software, or if you are assigning a different,
unique key. Follow the commands below, according to the type of key you are using. For more
information about keys, refer to
“Key” on page 351.
