LAG formation rules
8
NOTE
The maximum number of trunk groups supported is 31.
•
A LAG must have its primary port selected before it can be deployed.
•
All ports configured in a LAG must be configured in the same VLAN.
•
All ports must have the same PBR configuration before deployment, during deployment the
configuration on the primary port is replicated to all ports and on undeployment each port
inherits the same PBR configuration.
•
VLAN and inner-VLAN translation.
The trunk is rejected if any LAG port has VLAN or inner-VLAN translation configured
•
Layer 2 requirements.
The trunk is rejected if the trunk ports:
•
do not have the same untagged VLAN component.
•
do not share the same SuperSpan customer id (or cid).
•
do not share the same vlan membership
•
do not share the same uplink vlan membership
•
do not share the same protocol-vlan configuration
•
are configured as marble primary and secondary interfaces
•
Layer 3 requirements.
The trunk is rejected if any of the secondary trunk port has any Layer 3 configurations, such as
Ipv4 or Ipv6 address, ospf, rip, ripng, isis, etc.
•
Layer 4 (ACL) requirements.
All trunk ports must have the same ACL configurations; otherwise, the trunk is rejected.
•
The maximum number of ports supported in a LAG is 8.
NOTE
There are no SW limitations on the number of un-deployed or keep-alive LAGs. The trunk is a
deployed on a static or dynamic LAG.
•
Ports can be in only one LAG group. For example, port 1/4 cannot be in the LAG named “red”
and in the LAG named “blue”.
•
All the ports in a trunk group must be connected to the same device at the other end. For
example, a if port 1/4 and 1/5 in Device 1 are in the same trunk group, both ports must be
connected to a ports in Device 2 or in Device 3. You cannot have one port connected to Device
2 and another port connected to Device 3.
•
All LAG member properties must match the primary port of the LAG with respect to the
following parameters:
•
Port tag type (untagged or tagged port)
•
Port speed and duplex
•
QoS priority
To change port parameters, you must change them on the primary port. The software
automatically applies the changes to the other ports in the LAG.
