4. Configure the following LAG parameters:
NOTE
Ports with 802.1x authentication or ports that are enabled in L2 mode or L3 mode are not
supported in a LAG.
•
LAG ID - Enter the LAG identifier, using a value from 1 through 63. Duplicate LAG IDs are
not allowed.
•
Status - Click the Enable check box to enable the LAG. You must enable the LAG to use the
DCB functionality.
•
Interface Mode - Select None or L2. Ports that are in L2 mode cannot be added to a LAG.
The L3 interface mode option is displayed in the Edit LAG dialog box only.
•
L2 Mode - Select Access or Trunk:

Access mode allows only one VLAN and allows only untagged frames.

Trunk mode allows more than one VLAN association and allows tagged frames.
•
IP/Netmask - The netmask is used to divide an IP address into subnets. It specifies which
portion of the IP address represents the network and which portion represents the host,
and can only be configured if the interface mode is L3.

Primary - The primary IP address assigned to a 10 Gbps DCB/FC switch module.

Secondary - The secondary IP address is optional. Secondary IP addresses are helpful
when the interface port is part of multiple subnets.
5. Select at least one available DCB port from the Available Members list and click the right arrow
button to move it to the LAG Members list.
The DCB ports are now part of the link aggregation group.
