Configuring the Switch

CLI – This example creates trunk 2 with ports 1 and 2. Just connect these ports to
two static trunk ports on another switch to form a trunk.

Enabling LACP on Selected Ports

Command Usage
• To avoid creating a loop in the network, be sure

you enable LACP before connecting the ports,
and also disconnect the ports before disabling
LACP.

• If the target switch has also enabled LACP on the

connected ports, the trunk will be activated
automatically.

• A trunk formed with another switch using LACP

will automatically be assigned the next available
trunk ID.

• If more than eight ports attached to the same

target switch have LACP enabled, the additional ports will be placed in standby
mode, and will only be enabled if one of the active links fails.

• All ports on both ends of an LACP trunk must be configured for full duplex, and

auto-negotiation.
