Syntax Description
channel-group-number
Specify the channel group number. The range is 1 to 12.
mode
Specify the EtherChannel mode of the port.
active
Unconditionally enable Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP).
Active mode places a port into a negotiating state in which the port initiates
negotiations with other ports by sending LACP packets. A channel is
formed with another port group in either the active or passive mode.
auto
Enable the Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) only if a PAgP device is
detected.
Auto mode places a port into a passive negotiating state in which the port
responds to PAgP packets it receives but does not start PAgP packet
negotiation. A channel is formed only with another port group in desirable
mode. When
auto
is enabled, silent operation is the default.
desirable
Unconditionally enable PAgP.
Desirable mode places a port into an active negotiating state in which the
port starts negotiations with other ports by sending PAgP packets. A
channel is formed with another port group in either the desirable or auto
mode. When
desirable
is enabled, silent operation is the default.
non-silent
(Optional) Used with the
auto
or
desirable
keyword when traffic is
expected from the other device.
on
Enable
on
mode.
In
on
mode, a usable EtherChannel exists only when both connected port
groups are in the
on
mode.
passive
Enable LACP only if a LACP device is detected.
Passive mode places a port into a negotiating state in which the port
responds to LACP packets it receives but does not initiate LACP packet
negotiation. A channel is formed only with another port group in active
mode.
