3 - Distribution Mode
Sets the load distribution method. Possible settings are:
ˆ SRC MAC - Source MAC address
ˆ DST MAC - Destination MAC address
ˆ SRC/DST MAC - Source address /destination MAC address
ˆ SRC IP - Source IP address trunking
ˆ DST IP - Destination IP address trunking
ˆ SRC/DST IP - Source address /destination IP address
The default is SRC/DST MAC.
4 - Port Range
Specifies the aggregator ports. An aggregator can contain any number
of ports on the switch. You can identify the ports individually (for
example, 3,7,10), as a range (for example, 5-11), or both (for example,
2,4,11-14).
6. After you configure the parameters, type C to select Create
Aggregator.
The aggregator is created on the switch.
7. If LACP is not enabled on the switch, perform the procedure “Enabling
or Disabling LACP” on page 132 and activate the protocol.
8. Configure LACP on the other network device.
9. Connect the cables to the ports of the aggregator on both the switch
and the other network device.
The aggregator and its aggregate trunk(s) are now ready for network
operations.
Caution
Do not connect the cables to the ports of the aggregator on the
switch until after you have enabled LACP. Connecting the cables
before activating the protocol will create a loop in your network
topology. Data loops can result in broadcast storms and poor
network performance.
10. Repeat this procedure to create additional aggregators, if needed.
11. To permanently save your change, return to the Main Menu and type S
to select Save Configuration Changes.
