On an OmniSwitch 6624 or 6600-U24 you must install either an OS6600-GNI-C2 or OS6600-GNI-U2
expansion module in the left-hand expansion slot before you can use ports 25 and 26 for link aggregation
and you must install either an OS6600-GNI-C2 or OS6600-GNI-U2 expansion module in the right-hand
expansion/stacking slot before you can use ports 27 and 28 for link aggregation.
On an OmniSwitch 6648 you must install either an OS6600-GNI-C2 or OS6600-GNI-U2 expansion
module in the topmost expansion slot before you can use ports 49 and 50 for link aggregation and you
must install either an OS6600-GNI-C2 or OS6600-GNI-U2 expansion module in the bottommost expan-
sion/stacking slot before you can use ports 51 and 52 for link aggregation.
Note.
On an OmniSwitch 6648 ports 49 and 50 and ports 51 and 52 cannot be configured to join the same
dynamic aggregate group.
For example, to configure ports 1, 2, and 3 in slot 4 with an administrative key of 10 you would enter:
-> lacp agg 4/1 actor admin key 10
-> lacp agg 4/2 actor admin key 10
-> lacp agg 4/3 actor admin key 10
Note.
A port may belong to only one aggregate group. In addition, mobile ports cannot be aggregated. See
Chapter 6, “Assigning Ports to VLANs,”
for more information on mobile ports.
You must execute the
lacp agg actor admin key
command on all ports in a dynamic aggregate group. If
not, the ports will be unable to join the group.
In addition, you can also specify optional parameters shown in the table below. These keywords must be
entered after actor admin key and the user-specified actor administrative key value.
Note.
The
actor admin state
and
partner admin state
keywords have additional parameters, which are
described in
“Modifying the Actor Port System Administrative State” on page 11-22
and
“Modifying the
Partner Port System Administrative State” on page 11-26
, respectively.
All of the optional keywords listed above for this command may be entered in any order as long as they
appear after the
actor admin key
keywords and their user-specified value.
For example, to configure actor administrative key of 10, a local system ID (MAC address) of
00:20:da:06:ba:d3, and a local priority of 65535 to slot 4 port 1, enter:
-> lacp agg 4/1 actor admin key 10 actor system id 00:20:da:06:ba:d3 actor
system priority 65535
