Configuring a
Dynamic Trunk
Use the Interface > Trunk > Dynamic pages to set the administrative key for an
aggregation group, enable LACP on a port, configure protocol parameters for local
and partner ports, or to set Ethernet connection parameters.
Figure 48: Configuring Dynamic Trunks
Command Usage
To avoid creating a loop in the network, be sure you enable LACP before
connecting the ports, and also disconnect the ports before disabling LACP.
If the target switch has also enabled LACP on the connected ports, the trunk
will be activated automatically.
A trunk formed with another switch using LACP will automatically be assigned
the next available trunk ID.
If more than eight ports attached to the same target switch have LACP enabled,
the additional ports will be placed in standby mode, and will only be enabled if
one of the active links fails.
All ports on both ends of an LACP trunk must be configured for full duplex.
Ports are only allowed to join the same Link Aggregation Group (LAG) if (1) the
LACP port system priority matches, (2) the LACP port admin key matches, and
(3) the LAG admin key matches (if configured). However, if the LAG admin key is
set, then the port admin key must be set to the same value for a port to be
allowed to join that group.
Note:
If the LACP admin key is not set when a channel group is formed (i.e., it has a
null value of 0), the operational key is set to the same value as the operational key
of the first member port (see the “show lacp internal” command in the CLI Reference
Guide).
