Configuring an aggregation group
This section explains how to configure an aggregation group.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you configure an aggregation group, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
Do not assign a reflector port for port mirroring to an aggregation group. For more information
about reflector ports, see
Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide
.
•
Deleting an aggregate interface also deletes its aggregation group and causes all member
ports to leave the aggregation group.
•
You must configure the same aggregation mode on the two ends of an aggregate link.
•
For a successful static aggregation, make sure the ports at both ends of each link are in the
same aggregation state.
•
For a successful dynamic aggregation, make sure the peer ports of the ports aggregated at one
end are also aggregated. The two ends can automatically negotiate the aggregation state of
each member port.
Configuring a Layer 2 aggregation group
Configuring a Layer 2 static aggregation group
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.

N/A
2.
Create a Layer 2 aggregate
interface and enter Layer 2
aggregate interface view.
interface bridge-aggregation
interface-number
When you create a Layer 2
aggregate interface, the system
automatically creates a Layer 2
static aggregation group
numbered the same.
3.
Exit to system view.

4.
Assign an interface to the
specified Layer 2
aggregation group.
a
Enter Layer 2 Ethernet
interface view:
interface
interface-type
interface-number
b
Assign the interface to the
specified Layer 2
aggregation group:
port link-aggregation
group
group-id
Repeat these two substeps to
assign more Layer 2 Ethernet
interfaces to the aggregation
group.
5.
(Optional.) Set the port
priority for the interface.
link-aggregation port-priority
priority
The default port priority of an
interface is 32768.
