Quick Steps for Configuring Dynamic Link
Aggregation
Follow the steps below for a quick tutorial on configuring a dynamic aggregate link between two switches.
Additional information on how to configure each command is given in the subsections that follow.
1
Create the dynamic aggregate group on the local (actor) switch with the
lacp linkagg size
command as
shown below:
-> lacp linkagg 2 size 8
2
Configure ports (the number of ports should be less than or equal to the size value set in Step 1) in
sequential order (beginning with port number 1, 9, 17, or 25 on the OmniSwitch 6624 and 6600-U24 or
beginning with port number 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, 41, 49, or 51 on the OmniSwitch 6648) with the same actor
administrative key (which allows them to be aggregated) with the
lacp agg actor admin key
command.
For example:
-> lacp agg 1/1 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 1/2 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 1/3 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 1/4 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 1/5 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 1/6 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 1/7 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 1/8 actor admin key 2
3
Create a VLAN for this dynamic link aggregate group with the
vlan
command. For example:
-> vlan 2 port default 2
4
Create the equivalent dynamic aggregate group on the remote (partner) switch with the
lacp linkagg
size
command as shown below:
-> lacp linkagg 2 size 8
5
Configure ports (the number of ports should be less than or equal to the size value set in Step 4) in
sequential order (beginning with port number 1, 9, 17, or 25 on the OmniSwitch 6624 and 6600-U24 or
beginning with port number 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, 41, 49, or 51 on the OmniSwitch 6648) with the same actor
administrative key (which allows them to be aggregated) with the
lacp agg actor admin key
command.
For example:
-> lacp agg 2/9 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 2/10 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 2/11 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 2/12 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 2/13 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 2/14 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 2/15 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 2/16 actor admin key 2
6
Create a VLAN for this dynamic link aggregate group with the
vlan
command. For example:
-> vlan 2 port default 2
