Link Aggregation Control Protocol
(LACP)
Overview
This chapter contains commands for Dell Force10’s implementation of Link
Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for the creation of dynamic link aggregation
groups (LAGs — called port-channels in FTOS parlance). For static LAG
commands, the section Port Channel Commands in the Interfaces chapter), based on
the standards specified in the IEEE 802.3 Carrier sense multiple access with collision
detection (CSMA/CD) access method and physical layer specifications.
Commands in this chapter generally are supported by FTOS on all Dell Force10
systems as indicated by the characters that appear below each command heading:
e
E-Series,
c C-Series, s S-Series, or .
Commands
Use the following commands for LACP:
• clear lacp counters
• debug lacp
• lacp long-timeout
• lacp port-priority
• lacp system-priority
• port-channel mode
• port-channel-protocol lacp
• show lacp
In addition, an FTOS option provides hitless dynamic LACP states (no noticeable
impact to dynamic LACP states after an RPM failover) on E-Series. Refer to
redundancy protocol in the High Availability chapter.
