1.4.6 (Optional) Limiting the Number of Active Interfaces
Context
Perform the following steps on the AR3200 to limit the number of active interfaces.
Procedure
l
Setting the maximum number of active interfaces
1.
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
2.
Run:
interface eth-trunk
trunk-id
The Eth-Trunk interface view is displayed.
3.
Run:
max active-linknumber
link-number
The maximum number of active interfaces is set.
In static LACP mode, you can limit the maximum number (M) of active interfaces in the
Eth-Trunk. The other member interfaces function as backups.
If the maximum number of active interfaces is not set, up to eight interfaces in the Eth-
Trunk can be active.
NOTE
l
The maximum number of active interfaces must be larger than or equal to the minimum number
of active interfaces.
l
The maximum number of active interfaces on the local AR3200 and that on the remote
AR3200 can be different. If the values of this setting at the two ends are different, the smaller
value is used.
l
Setting the minimum number of active interfaces
1.
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
2.
Run:
interface eth-trunk
trunk-id
The Eth-Trunk interface view is displayed.
3.
Run:
least active-linknumber
link-number
The minimum number of active interfaces is set.
By default, the minimum number of active interfaces is 1.
In static LACP mode, you can determine the minimum number of active interfaces in the
Eth-Trunk. If the number of active interfaces is smaller than the minimum value, the status
of the Eth-Trunk becomes Down.
