Syntax ADD LACP POrt=[{port-list|ALL}] [ADMinkey=key]
[PRIOrity=priority] [MODe={ACTIve|PASsive}]
[PERiodic={FASt|SLOw}]
where:
■ port-list is a port number, range (specified as n-m), or comma-separated list
of port numbers and/or ranges. Port numbers start at 1 and end at m,
where m is the highest numbered port, including uplink ports.
■ key is an integer from 0 to 65535
■ priority is an integer from 0 to 65535
Description This command adds a port to LACP's control thus enabling LACP to put it into
an aggregated link. By default, ports are added in the active mode. If a port is
added in the active mode, and its link’s requirements for trunking are met, then
the port and it associated link are automatically aggregated without further
configuration. The same situation applies for a port configured in passive
mode but whose link connects to a remote port configured in active mode.
The port parameter specifies the ports whose parameters are to be modified.
Where none of the ports specified are presently managed by LACP, the
command takes effect if it can be applied to all the specified ports. Where some
of the ports specified are already managed by LACP, and additional ports are
added (by specifying ALL, for example), then the LACP managed ports have
their Key and other parameters changed, and the command succeeds on all the
specified ports.
In the following descriptions, references to an individual port refers to all ports
selected by the port parameter.
The adminkey parameter specifies the Admin LACP port key. This affects the
LACP port key that is generated but does not determine its value. You can use
this parameter to prevent ports from being aggregated when they might
otherwise form a trunk. By default all ports that can be aggregated are given
the same LACP port key. The default for adminkey is 1.
The priority parameter specifies the LACP port priority. The priority assigned is
used where the number of physical links connecting two devices is greater than
the number that can be aggregated. The priority entered is then used to
determine which ports are selected for aggregation. The default of 32,768 (0
being the highest priority) is applied to all ports.
Where the port priority is the same, the port number governs which ports are
selected. The lower the port number, the higher its priority. Excess ports are put
into a standby mode, in which they are effectively disabled. They will remain
in this state unless required to replace inoperative links within their associated
aggregated group.
The mode parameter specifies whether the port runs in LACP passive or active
mode. A port in passive mode begins sending LACPDUs in response to a
received LACPDU; whereas, a port in active mode always sends LACPDUs at
regular intervals specified by the periodic parameter.
The periodic parameter specifies the requested rate that the LACP port
receives LACPDU update messages from its partner port. A port in fast mode
