Configuring a link aggregation group
FCoE ports can be grouped to create a link aggregation group (LAG). The LAG is treated as a single
interface.
To configure a LAG, perform the following steps.
1. Select the DCB Interfaces tab on the Switch Administration window.
2. Select the Link Aggregation tab.
3. Click Add.
The Add LAG Configuration dialog box displays.
NOTE
Only ports that you defined with an Interface Mode of None can be a LAG Member.
4. Click the Add arrow button to move the interfaces to the Selected List.
5. Select the Mode.
The choices are Static and Dynamic. Static mode does not use Link Aggregation Control
Protocol (LACP) to negotiate and manage link aggregation. Link participation in the LAG is
determined by the link’s operational status and administrative state. Dynamic mode uses
LACP. LACP allows partner systems to examine the attributes of the links that connect them
and dynamically form a LAG. When you select Dynamic mode, the Active and Passive options
are enabled:
• If you choose Active, your switch initiates an exchange of LACP data units.
• If you choose Passive, your switch waits to receive LACP data units from its partner system
and then respond. Passive is the default behavior.
6. Select the Type.
Type refers to the type of trunking used by the LAG. The choices are Standard and Brocade.
7. Select the Interface Mode.
The options are None and L2. The default is None.
8. Select the L2 Mode.
