Quick Steps for Configuring Dynamic Link
Aggregation
Follow the steps below for a quick tutorial on configuring a dynamic aggregate link between two switches.
Additional information on how to configure each command is given in the subsections that follow.
1
Create the dynamic aggregate group on the local (actor) switch with the
command as shown below:
-> linkagg lacp agg 2 size 8 actor admin-key 5
2
Configure ports (the number of ports must be less than or equal to the size value set in step 1) with the
same actor administrative key (which allows them to be aggregated) with the
command. For example:
-> linkagg lacp port 1/1 actor admin-key 5
-> linkagg lacp port 1/4 actor admin-key 5
-> linkagg lacp port 3/3 actor admin-key 5
-> linkagg lacp port 5/4 actor admin-key 5
-> linkagg lacp port 6/1-2 actor admin-key 5
-> linkagg lacp port 7/3 actor admin-key 5
-> linkagg lacp port 8/1 actor admin-key 5
3
Create a VLAN for this dynamic link aggregate group with the
vlan
command. For example:
-> vlan 2 members port 2/3 untagged
4
Create the equivalent dynamic aggregate group on the remote (partner) switch with the
command as shown below:
-> linkagg lacp agg 2 size 8 actor admin-key 5
5
Configure ports (the number of ports must be less than or equal to the size value set in step 4) with the
same actor administrative key (which allows them to be aggregated) with the
command. For example:
-> linkagg lacp port 2/1 actor admin-key 5
-> linkagg lacp port 3/1 actor admin-key 5
-> linkagg lacp port 3/3 actor admin-key 5
-> linkagg lacp port 3/6 actor admin-key 5
-> linkagg lacp port 5/1 actor admin-key 5
-> linkagg lacp port 5/6 actor admin-key 5
-> linkagg lacp port 8/1 actor admin-key 5
-> linkagg lacp port 8/3 actor admin-key 5
6
Create a VLAN for this dynamic link aggregate group with the
vlan
command. For example:
-> vlan 2 members linkagg 2
