• LAG ID - Enter the LAG identifier, using a value from 1 through 63. Duplicate LAG IDs are
not allowed.
• Status - Click the Enable check box to enable the LAG. You must enable the LAG to use the
DCB functionality.
• Interface Mode - Select None or L2. Ports that are in L2 mode cannot be added to a LAG.
The L3 interface mode option is displayed in the Edit LAG dialog box only.
• L2 Mode - Select Access or Trunk:
 Access mode allows only one VLAN and allows only untagged frames.
 Trunk mode allows more than one VLAN association and allows tagged frames.
• IP/Netmask - The netmask is used to divide an IP address into subnets. It specifies which
portion of the IP address represents the network and which portion represents the host,
and can only be configured if the interface mode is L3.
 Primary - The primary IP address assigned to a 10 Gbps DCB/FC switch module.
 Secondary - The secondary IP address is optional. Secondary IP addresses are helpful
when the interface port is part of multiple subnets.

6. Continue to configure the following LAG parameters. These parameters are always enabled.
• Type - Sets the limit on the size of the LAG. The type values include Standard, where the
LAG is limited to 16 ports, and Brocade LAG, where the LAG is limited to 4 ports. The
default is Standard.
For Network OS devices, you can add a maximum of 8 ports to the LAG.
NOTE
You cannot create Fabric OS-type LAGs from different anvil chips. If you do, an error
message displays. Only the first port is considered as part of the LAG.
• Mode - Sets all ports added to the LAG members list in either Static or Dynamic mode. The
default is Dynamic, Active, but LAG members can be Active or Passive if the LAG member
is Dynamic.
