• For dynamic LAGs, LACP is activated on all LAG ports. When activating LACP, use active
mode if passive is not specified; otherwise, use passive mode.
• For a keep-alive LAGs, a LAG is formed, and LACP is started on the LAG port.
Once the deploy command is issued, all LAG ports will behave like a single port.
If the no deploy command is executed, then the LAG is removed. For dynamic LAGs, LACP is
de-activated on all of the LAG ports.
If the no deploy command is issued and more than 1 LAG port is not disabled the command is
aborted and the following error message is displayed: “Error 2 or more ports in the LAG are not
disabled, un-deploy this LAG may form a loop - aborted.” Using the forced keyword with the no
deploy command in the previous situation, the un-deployment of the LAG is executed.
5. Assign a name to an individual port within a LAG using the port-name command within the LAG
configuration as shown in the following. Using the port-name command is optional.
Brocade(config-lag-1)# port-name ICL-to-TOR-B:1/1 ethernet 1/1
Brocade(config-lag-1)# port-name ICL-to-TOR-B:1/2 ethernet 1/2
Syntax: [no] port-name <text> ethernet [slot/port] | pos [slot/port]
The <text> variable specifies the port name. The name can be up to 50 characters long.
Use the ethernet option with the appropriate [slot/port] variable to apply the specified name to
an Ethernet port within the LAG.
Use the pos option with the appropriate [slot/port] variable to apply the specified name to a
Packet-over-SONET port within the LAG.
Creating LAG 2
See
Figure 176 and “Creating LAG-1” for additional information on creating a LAG.
1. Create LAG 2 as shown below.
Brocade(config)# lag 2 dynamic id 2
Brocade(config-lag-2)#
2. Define the ports the LAG will be using.
Brocade(config-lag-2)# ports ethernet 1/3 to 1/4
3. Deploy the LAG 2 as shown below.
Brocade(config-lag-2)# deploy
4. Assign a name to an individual port within a LAG.
Brocade(config-lag-2)# port-name lag-client-1:1/1 ethernet 1/3
Brocade(config-lag-2)# port-name lag-client-1:1/2 ethernet 1/4
Creating LAG 3
See
Figure 176 and “Creating LAG-1” for additional information on creating a LAG.
1. Create LAG 3 as shown below.
Brocade(config)# lag 3 dynamic id 3
Brocade(config-lag-3)#
2. Define the ports the LAG will be using.
Brocade(config-lag-3)# ports ethernet 1/5
