config lacp_ports
Syntax
config lacp_ports <portlist> mode [active | passive]
Description
This command is used to configure ports that have been previously designated as LACP
ports (see
create link_aggregation
).
Parameters
<portlist>
−
Specifies a port or range of ports to be configured.
mode
– Select the mode to determine if LACP ports will process LACP control frames.
•
active
– Active LACP ports are capable of processing and sending LACP control
frames. This allows LACP compliant devices to negotiate the aggregated link so the
group may be changed dynamically as needs require. In order to utilize the ability to
change an aggregated port group, that is, to add or subtract ports from the group, at
least one of the participating devices must designate LACP ports as active. Both
devices must support LACP.
•
passive
– LACP ports that are designated as passive cannot process LACP control
frames. In order to allow the linked port group to negotiate adjustments and make
changes dynamically, at one end of the connection must have “active” LACP ports
(see above).
Restrictions
Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To configure LACP port mode settings:
DES-1228/ME:4#config lacp_port 1-12 mode active
Command: config lacp_port 1-12 mode active
Success.
DES-1228/ME:4#
