Configuring Link Aggregation (LAG) and LACP (CLI)
Link aggregation (LAG) enables you to group several physical Ethernet or radio interfaces into a single logical
interface bound to a single MAC address. This logical interface is known as a LAG group. Traffic sent to the
interfaces in a LAG group is distributed by means of a load balancing function. PTP 820G uses a distribution
function of up to Layer 4 in order to generate the most efficient distribution among the LAG physical ports.
This section explains how to configure LAG and includes the following topics:
•
•
•
•
To enable LACP on a LAG group, go to interface view for the LAG and enter the following command:
To disable LACP on a LAG group, go to interface view for the LAG and enter the following command:
eth group [lagx]> lacp admin set disable
eth group [lagx]>lacp admin show
The following commands enable LACP for LAG group 1:
root> ethernet interfaces group lag1
eth group [lag1]>lacp admin set enable
eth group [lag1]>

LAG Overview (CLI)
Link aggregation (LAG) enables you to group several physical Ethernet or radio interfaces into a single logical
interface bound to a single MAC address. This logical interface is known as a LAG group. Traffic sent to the
interfaces in a LAG group is distributed by means of a load balancing function. PTP 820G uses a distribution
function of up to Layer 4 in order to generate the most efficient distribution among the LAG physical ports.
LAG can be used to provide interface redundancy, both on the same card (line protection) and on separate cards
(line protection and equipment protection).
LAG can also be used to aggregate several interfaces in order to create a wider (aggregate) link. For example, LAG
can be used to create a 4 Gbps channel.
