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 143 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. After making changes, type R until you return to the Main Menu. Then

Modifying an
Aggregator
This procedure explains how to modify an aggregator. You can change an
aggregator’s name, adminkey, or load distribution method. You can also
use this procedure to add or remove ports. To modify an aggregator, you
need to know its name or adminkey key. It is recommended that you
review the section “LACP Trunk Guidelines” on page 133 before modifying
an aggregator.
Caution
If you will be adding or removing ports from the aggregator, you
should disconnect all network cables from the ports of the
aggregator on the switch before performing the procedure. Adding
or removing ports without first disconnecting the cables can result in
loops in your network topology, which can result in broadcast storms
and poor network performance.
To modify an aggregator, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 1 to select Port Configuration.
