Chapter 22: Group Link Control Commands

Section II: Advanced Operations

ADD GLC

Syntax

add glc upstream|downstream

group

port

Parameters

upstream|

Specifies whether a port is to be an upstream port or a

downstream

downstream port of a group.

group

Specifies a group for a port. You can specify only one
group and the group must already exist. The range is 1 to
8.

port

Specifies a port to add to a group. You can specify more
than one port.

Description

This command is used to add upstream and downstream ports to groups
for group link control. Here are the guidelines:

A group must already exist before you can add ports to it. To create
groups, refer to “CREATE GLC” on page 430.

You can add either upstream ports or downstream ports to a group,
but not both in the same command.

Adding a port to a group does not change its other group memberships
because ports can belong to more than one group at a time. To move
a port to a different group, you must remove it from its current group
assignment before or after adding it to its new group.

A group that does not have any upstream ports is placed in a
suspended state. Downstream ports are permitted to forward traffic
normally.

A port stops forwarding network traffic if you add it as a downstream
port to a group that does not have links on the upstream ports.

Examples

This command adds ports 5 and 6 as downstream ports of group 1:

add glc downstream 1 5,6

This command adds port 15 as an upstream port of group 2:

add glc downstream 2 15
