4.4.1 Configuring Link Aggregation
Either static or dynamic (also known as LACP) configuration can be selected for Link Aggregation.
Static configuration
Configures aggregation groups statically.
LACP
Configures link aggregation using Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). The LACP is a switch-to-switch control
protocol that enables dynamic configuration of aggregation groups and is standardized by the IEEE802.3ad. The LACP
facilitates determination of consistency with devices connected.
Either "active" or "passive" LACP mode can be selected.
−
active
The XG700 starts LACP negotiation. Since the active mode allows the reception of LACP control frames, it is
possible to connect the XG700 with "active" mode.
−
passive
The XG700 responds to LACP control frames but does not start LACP negotiation.
To configure static link aggregation, carry out the following procedure in the administrator EXEC mode.
Command
Task
xg# configure terminal
Switch to global configuration mode.
xg(config)# link-aggregation agg-port <1-6>
protocol none port <1-12> <1-12>
Set numbers you assign to the aggregation groups to
be created (agg-port) and numbers you assign to ports
that make up link aggregation (port).
Specify "none" in "protocol" for static configuration.
xg(config)# interface agg-port <1-6>
To change the setting of the aggregation group created,
switch to the interface edit mode for the aggregation
group using the "interface agg-port" command.
The prompt changes to "config-agg".
xg(config-agg)# port-vlan-id vlan 2
(Optional)
Change the setting of the aggregation group. In this
example, default VLAN ID is set to 2.
xg(config-agg)# exit
Exit to global configuration mode.
xg(config)# exit
Exit to administrator EXEC mode.
To configure LACP link aggregation, carry out the following procedure in the administrator EXEC mode.
Command
Task
xg# configure terminal
Switch to global configuration mode.
xg(config)# link-aggregation agg-port <1-6>
protocol lacp lacp-mode {active | passive }
port <1-12> <1-12>
Set numbers you assign to the aggregation groups to
be created (agg-port) and numbers you assign to ports
that make up link aggregation (port).
Specify "lacp" in "protocol" for LACP link aggregation
and specify the desired negotiation operational mode in
"lacp-mode".
xg(config)# interface agg-port <1-6>
To change the setting of the aggregation group created,
switch to the interface edit mode for the aggregation
group using the "interface agg-port" command.
The prompt changes to "config-agg".
xg(config-agg)# port-vlan-id vlan 2
(Optional)
Change the setting of the aggregation group. In this
example, default VLAN ID is set to 2.
xg(config-agg)# exit
Exit to global configuration mode.
xg(config)# exit
Exit to administrator EXEC mode.
