Conguring the Minimum Number of Links to be Up
for Uplink LAGs to be Active
You can activate the LAG bundle for uplink interfaces or ports (the uplink port-channel is LAG 128) on the I/O Aggregator only when a
minimum number of member interfaces of the LAG bundle is up. For example, based on your network deployment, you may want the uplink
LAG bundle to be activated only if a certain number of member interface links is also in the up state. If you enable this setting, the uplink
LAG bundle is brought up only when the specied minimum number of links are up and the LAG bundle is moved to the down state when
the number of active links in the LAG becomes less than the specied number of interfaces. By default, the uplink LAG 128 interface is
activated when at least one member interface is up.
To congure the minimum number of member links that must be up for a LAG bundle to be fully up, perform the following steps:
Specify the minimum number of member interfaces of the uplink LAG 128 bundle that must be up for the LAG bundle to be brought
up. The default minimum number of member links that must be active for the uplink LAG to be active is 1. Enter the minimum-links
number command in the Port Channel Interface 128 Conguration mode to specify this value.
Dell(conf)#interface port-channel 128
Dell(conf-if-po-128)#minimum-links 4
Use the show interfaces port-channel command to view information regarding the congured LAG or port channel settings. The
Minimum number of links to bring Port-channel up is eld in the output of this command displays the congured number of active links
for the LAG to be enabled.
