ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
1274
configure esrp ports weight
configure esrp ports <ports> weight [auto | <port-weight>]
Description
Assigns the port weight for the specified ESRP port(s).
Syntax Description
Default
The switch automatically calculates the weight of a port based on the bandwidth of the port.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to override the automatically calculated port weight.
The
port-weight
parameter specifies a weight of 0. With this configuration, ESRP does not count host
ports and normal ports as active. With a weight of 0, ESRP experiences fewer state changes due to
frequent client activities like rebooting and unplugging laptops. A don’t-count port cannot be a
mirroring, software-controlled redundant port, or a Netlogin port.
For load shared ports, configure one master port in the load-share group with the port weight. A single
command specifies the weight for the entire load shared group. You can specify any port from the load
share group in the command. A load-shared port has an aggregate weight of all of its member ports. If
you add or delete a member port (or trunk), the weight of the master load-shared port is updated. For
more information about load sharing, see “

Example
The following command configures port 1 on slot 3 with a weight of 0:
