Deleting an
Aggregator
This procedure deletes an aggregator from the switch. The ports that are
members of the aggregator stop transmitting LACPDU packets after the
aggregator is deleted.
Caution
Disconnect the cables from the ports of the aggregator before
performing the following procedure. Deleting an aggregator without
first disconnecting the cables can create loops in your network
topology. Data loops can result in broadcast storms and poor
network performance.
To delete an aggregator, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 1 to select Port Configuration.
The Port Configuration menu is shown in Figure 25 on page 102.
