Port-Channel/LAG (802.3ad) Commands

This section describes the commands you use to configure port-channels, which are
also known as link aggregation groups (LAGs). Link aggregation allows you to
combine multiple full-duplex Ethernet links into a single logical link. Network devices
treat the aggregation as if it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance and
provides load sharing. The LAG feature initially load shares traffic based upon the
source and destination MAC address.Assign the port-channel (LAG) VLAN
membership after you create a port-channel. If you do not assign VLAN membership,
the port-channel might become a member of the management VLAN which can result
in learning and switching issues.

A port-channel (LAG) interface can be either static or dynamic, but not both. All
members of a port channel must participate in the same protocols.) A static port-
channel interface does not require a partner system to be able to aggregate its member
ports.

NOTE: If you configure the maximum number of dynamic port-channels

(LAGs) that your platform supports, additional port-channels that you
configure are automatically static.

2.12.1

port-channel

This command configures a new port-channel (LAG) and generates a logical unit/slot/
port number for the port-channel. The

<name>

field is a character string which allows

the dash “-” character as well as alphanumeric characters. Use the

show port channel

command to display the unit/slot/port number for the logical interface.

NOTE: Before you include a port in a port-channel, set the port physical

mode. For more information, see 2.1.8 “speed” on page 2 - 4.

Format

port-channel <name>

2.12.2

addport

This command adds one port to the port-channel (LAG). The first interface is a Logical
slot and port number. of a configured port-channel.

NOTE: Before adding a port to a port-channel, set the physical mode of the

port. For more information, see 2.1.8 “speed” on page 2 - 4.
