Configuring LAGs
LAG configuration guidelines include:
• When preprovisioning chassis slots, cards, MCMs, CMA/MDAs, and Ethernet ports,
distribute the LAG ports for a given LAG over as many slots and CMA/MDAs as
possible. This minimizes the impact that a slot or CMA/MDA failure has on the
performance of the LAG.
• A maximum of 20064 LAGs, 16 ports in each, can be configured on a 7710 SR.
• Ports can be added or removed from the LAG while the LAG and its ports (other than the
port being removed) remain operational. When ports to and/or from the LAG are added or
removed, the hashing algorithm is adjusted for the new port count.
• The show commands display physical port statistics on a port-by-port basis or the entire
LAG can be displayed.
• LAG is supported on Ethernet ports.
• Ports of a particular LAG can be of different types but they must be the same speed and
duplex. To guarantee the same port speed is used for all ports in a LAG, autonegotiation
must be disabled or in limited mode to ensure only a specific speed is advertised.
Figure 14 displays traffic routed between ALA-1 and ALA-2 as a LAG consisting of four ports.
