port, either internal or external, can participate in more than one Aggregator

Group.

What Is the LAG Dependency Feature in Port Aggregator Mode?

LAG (port-channel) dependency allows you to set the minimum number of

uplinks to be active for the aggregator group. For example, if the number of

uplink ports in the group is 2 and the number of internal ports is 4. If the user

sets the minimum active uplink ports to be 2, then both the uplink ports

should be active; otherwise, all the internal ports in the Group will be brought

down. By default, the minimum active uplinks for a Group is 1, which means

at least one uplink port should be active for the Aggregator Group to be

active.

What Are SDM Templates?

An SDM template is a description of the maximum resources a switch or

router can use for various features. Different SDM templates allow different

combinations of scaling factors, enabling different allocations of resources

depending on how the device is used. In other words, SDM templates enable

you to reallocate system resources to support a different mix of features based

on your network requirements.
PowerConnect M6220, M6348, M8024, and M8024-k switches support the

following three templates:

• Dual IPv4 and IPv6 (default)
• IPv4 Routing
• IPv4 Data Center

Table 11-3 describes the parameters that are scaled for each template and the

per-template maximum value of the parameter.
