set lacp priority
Syntax SET LACP PRIOrity=priority
where priority is an integer from 0 to 65535
Description This command modifies the relative priority of LACP enabled partners.
The priority parameter specifies a numeric value that is used as part of the
system priority calculation. When systems with multiple links connect and use
LACP to control link aggregation, each system compares its system priority
data identifiers to determine which system should control the links. A system
identifier comprises a system priority component (configured by this
parameter) followed the system’s MAC address. Link control is assigned to the
system with the numerically lower system priority data identifier. The default is
32768.
Examples System A is to connect to system B using LACP and System B is to control their
aggregated links.
System A has a MAC address of 00-00-cd-00-0d-42 and has been assigned an
LACP PRIORITY value of 500. System B has a MAC address of 00-00-cd-00-0d-
52.
In order to ensure that System B controls the links, its LACP PRIORITY must
be set to a value lower than 500. The LACP PRIORITY on System B is therefore
set to 300. Note that system control is determined by the values set by the
LACP Priority values because these have a greater numeric significance than
MAC Addresses.
