enable sharing <port> grouping <port_list> {algorithm [port-based |
address-based {L2 | L3 | L3_L4 | custom}]} {lacp | health-check}
disable sharing <port>
Note: All ports that are designated for the LAG must be removed from all
VLANs prior to configuring the LAG.
Adding and Deleting Ports in a Load-Sharing Group
Ports can be added or deleted dynamically in a load-sharing group, or LAG. To add or delete
ports from a load-sharing group, use the following commands:
configure sharing <port> add ports <port_list>
configure sharing <port> delete ports <port_list>
Note: See Configuring LACP on page 133 for the maximum number of
links, selected and standby, per LACP.
Configuring the Load Sharing Algorithm
For some traffic on selected platforms, you can configure the load sharing algorithm as
described in
Load-Sharing Algorithms on page 126. The commands for configuring load
sharing algorithms are:
enable sharing <port> grouping <port_list> {algorithm [port-based |
address-based {L2 | L3 | L3_L4 | custom}]} {lacp | health-check}
Configuring LACP
To configure LACP, you must, again, first create a LAG. The first port in the LAG serves as
the logical port for the LAG. This is the reference port used in configuration commands. It can
be thought of as the logical port representing the entire port group, and it serves as the LAG
Group ID.
To create a LAG for LACP:
1. Create a LAG, using the following command:
enable sharing <port> grouping <port_list> {algorithm [port-based | address-based {L2 |
L3 | L3_L4 | custom}]} {lacp | health-check}
The port you assign using the first parameter becomes the logical port for the link
aggregation group and the LAG Group ID when using LACP. This logical port must also
be included in the port list of the grouping itself.
2. If you want to override the default prioritization in LACP for a specified LAG, use the
following command:
