config lacp_ports
Purpose Used to configure settings for LACP compliant
ports.
Syntax
config lacp_ports <portlist> mode
[active|passive]
Description This command is used to configure ports that
have been previously designated as LACP ports
(see create link_aggregation).
Parameters
<portlist> − Specifies a range of ports to be
configured. The port list is specified by listing the
beginning port number and the highest port
number of the range. The beginning and end of
the port list range are separated by a dash. For
example, 3 specifies port 3. 4 specifies port 4. 3-4
specifies all of the ports between port 3 and port
4 − in numerical order. Up to 6 ports can be
linked.
mode – Select the mode to determine if LACP
ports will process LACP control frames.
active – Active LACP ports are capable of
processing and sending LACP control frames.
This allows LACP compliant devices to negotiate
the aggregated link so the group may be changed
dynamically as needs require. In order to utilize
the ability to change an aggregated port group,
that is, to add or subtract ports from the group, at
least one of the participating devices must
designate LACP ports as active. Both devices
must support LACP. Only one side is designated
active while the other side is designated passive.
passive – LACP ports that are designated as
passive cannot process LACP control frames. In
order to allow the linked port group to negotiate
adjustments and make changes dynamically, at
one end of the connection must have “active”
