The link aggregation commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate parameters) in the
following table.
Command
Parameters
create link_aggregation group_id
<value 1-6> {type [lacp | static]}
delete link_aggregation group_id
<value 1-6>
config link_aggregation group_id
<value 1-6> {master_port <port> | ports <portlist> | state [enable |
disable]}
config link_aggregation algorithm
[mac_source | mac_destination | mac_source_dest | ip_source |
ip_destination | ip_source_dest]
show link_aggregation
{group_id <value 1-6> | algorithm}
config lacp_port
<portlist> mode [active | passive]
show lacp_port
{<portlist>}
Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections.
create link_aggregation
Purpose
Used to create a link aggregation group on the Switch.
Syntax
create link_aggregation group_id <value 1-6> {type[lacp | static]}
Description
This command will create a link aggregation group with a unique
identifier.
Parameters
<value>
−
Specifies the group ID. The Switch allows up to 6 link
aggregation groups to be configured. The group number identifies each
of the groups.
type – Specify the type of link aggregation used for the group. If the type
is not specified the default type is static.
•
lacp – This designates the port group as LACP compliant.
LACP allows dynamic adjustment to the aggregated port
group. LACP compliant ports may be further configured (see
config lacp_ports). LACP compliant must be connected to
LACP compliant devices.
•
static – This designates the aggregated port group as static.
Static port groups can not be changed as easily as LACP
compliant port groups since both linked devices must be
manually configured if the configuration of the trunked group is
changed. If static link aggregation is used, be sure that both
ends of the connection are properly configured and that all
ports have the same speed/duplex settings.
Restrictions
Only Administrator and Operator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To create a link aggregation group:
DES-3526:admin#create link_aggregation group_id 1
Command: create link_aggregation group_id 1
Success.
