▼ Configure a LAG for “Passive” Mode (Dynamic
LAG)
When configuring a passive-mode LAG, you configure a LAG on the Oracle Fabric
Interconnect and use the -lacp qualifier to allow passive mode. Passive-mode
LAGs are formed dynamically through LACP, when a peer device is set to active
mode and requests that the passive port is added to the LAG.
1. Configure the LAG on the peer. The LAG must be configured for “active”
mode.
2. On the Oracle Fabric Interconnect, add the lag and set the appropriate port(s) to
passive-mode LACP.
For example, to add a LAG called 3.2 with port 2, and enable the LAG for passive
LACP:
3. Use the add lag command to add the other ports that will be in the passive-
mode LAG.
For example, to add ports 3/8 and 3/10 to LAG 3.2:
As an option, you can use wildcards as options to specify multiple LAGs or
multiple ports within one LAG. For example:
In the first example, all LAGs are configured with port 1, and all LAGs support
passive-mode LACP. In the second example a LAG is created on slot 3 and all
ports in that slot are members of the LAG, and the LAG supports passive mode
LACP.
add lag 3.2 -lacp port 2
add lag 3.2 -lacp port 8
add lag 3.2 -lacp port 10
add lag *.1 -lacp port 1
add lag 3.* -lacp port 10
