ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide

configure sharing add ports
configure sharing <port> add ports <port_list>
Description
Adds ports to a load-sharing, or link aggregation, group. By using link aggregation, you use multiple
ports as a single logical port. Link aggregation also provides redundancy because traffic is redistributed
to the remaining ports in the link aggregation group (LAG) if one port in the group goes down.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
NOTE
You must create a LAG (or load-sharing group) before you can configure the LAG. To create a LAG, see
enable
sharing <port> grouping <port_list> {algorithm [port-based | address-based {L2 | L3 | L3_L4}]} {lacp}
.
Use this command to dynamically add ports to a load-sharing group, or link aggregation group (LAG).
vMAN ports can belong to LAGs. If any port in the LAG is enabled for vMAN, all ports in the group
are automatically enabled to handle jumbo size frames. Also, vMAN is automatically enabled on all
ports of the untagged LAG.
To verify your configuration, use the
show ports sharing
command.
Summit X450 family of switches only.
The following guidelines apply to link aggregation on the Summit
X450 family of switches:
●
One static LAG can contain up to 8 ports.
●
An LACP (dynamic) LAG can include a maximum of 16 ports; out of these up to 8 can be selected
links and the remaining 8 will be standby links.
●
The maximum number of LAGs is 32.
port
Specifies the logical port for a load-sharing group or link aggregation group
(LAG). This number also functions as the LAG Group ID.
port_list
Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports to be grouped in the LAG.
