2.6.2.4 (Optional) Setting the Upper and Lower Thresholds for the Number of
Active Interfaces
Context
The number of Up member links affects the status and bandwidth of an Eth-Trunk. To ensure
that the Eth-Trunk functions properly and is less affected by member link status changes, set the
following thresholds.
l
Lower threshold for the number of active interfaces: When the number of active interfaces
falls below this threshold, the Eth-Trunk goes Down. This guarantees the Eth-Trunk a
minimum available bandwidth.
l
Upper threshold for the number of active interfaces: It is used for improving network
reliability with assured bandwidth. When the number of active interfaces reaches this
threshold, you can add new member interfaces to the Eth-Trunk, but excess member
interfaces enter the Down state.
Procedure
Step 1
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2
Run:
interface eth-trunk
trunk-id
The Eth-Trunk interface view is displayed.
Step 3
Run:
least active-linknumber
link-number
The lower threshold for the number of active interfaces is set.
By default, the lower threshold for the number of active interfaces is 1.
The lower threshold for the number of active interfaces on the local device can be different from
that on the remote device. If the two values are different, the larger one is used.
Step 4
Run:
max active-linknumber
link-number
The upper threshold for the number of active interfaces is set.
By default, the upper threshold for the number of active interfaces is 8.
The upper threshold for the number of active interfaces at the local end can be different from
that at the remote end. If the two values are different, the smaller one is used.
NOTE
The upper threshold for the number of active interfaces must be greater than or equal to the lower threshold
for the number of active interfaces.
