The link aggregation commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate parameters) in the
following table.
Command Parameters
config lacp_port
<portlist> mode [active | passive]
show lacp_port
{<portlist>}
Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections.
config lacp_ports
Purpose
Used to configure settings for LACP compliant ports.
Syntax
config lacp_ports <portlist> mode [active | passive]
Description
This command is used to configure ports that have been previously
designated as LACP ports (see
create link_aggregation
).
Parameters
<portlist>
−
Specifies a port or range of ports to be configured.
mode
– Select the mode to determine if LACP ports will process
LACP control frames.
•
active
– Active LACP ports are capable of processing and
sending LACP control frames. This allows LACP compliant
devices to negotiate the aggregated link so the group may
be changed dynamically as needs require. In order to utilize
the ability to change an aggregated port group, that is, to
add or subtract ports from the group, at least one of the
participating devices must designate LACP ports as active.
Both devices must support LACP.
•
passive
– LACP ports that are designated as passive
cannot process LACP control frames. In order to allow the
linked port group to negotiate adjustments and make
changes dynamically, at one end of the connection must
have “active” LACP ports (see above).
Restrictions
Only Administrator or Operator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To configure LACP port mode settings:
DES-3800:admin#config lacp_port 1-12 mode active
Command: config lacp_port 1-12 mode active
Success.
DES-3800:admin#
