NETGEAR 8800 User Manual
logical port serves as the LAG Group ID. VLANs configured to use other ports in the
load-sharing group will have those ports deleted from the VLAN when load sharing becomes
enabled.
Cross-Module Load Sharing on a NETGEAR 8800 Switch
The following example defines a static load-sharing group on modular switches that contains
ports 9 through 12 on slot 3, ports 7 through 10 on slot 5, and uses port 7 in the slot 5 group
as the primary logical port, or LAG Group ID:
enable sharing 5:7 grouping 3:9-3:12, 5:7-5:10
In this example, logical port 5:7 represents physical ports 3:9 through 3:12 and 5:7 through
5:10.
When using load sharing, you should always reference the LAG Group ID of the load-sharing
group (port 5:7 in the previous example) when configuring or viewing VLANs. VLANs
configured to use other ports in the load-sharing group will have those ports deleted from the
VLAN when load sharing becomes enabled.
Address-based load sharing can also span modules.
Single-Module Load Sharing on a NETGEAR 8800 Switch
The following example defines a static load-sharing, or link aggregation, group that contains
ports 9 through 12 on slot 3 and uses the first port as the master logical port 9, or LAG group
ID:
enable sharing 3:9 grouping 3:9-3:12
In this example, logical port 3:9 represents physical ports 3:9 through 3:12.
LACP Example
The following configuration example:
• Creates a dynamic LAG with the logical port (LAG Group ID) of 10 that contains ports 10
through 12.
• Sets the system priority for that LAG to 3.
• Adds port 5 to the LAG.
enable sharing 10 grouping 10-12 lacp
configure sharing 10 lacp system-priority 3
configure sharing 10 add port 5
Health Check LAG Example
The following example creates a Health Check LAG of 4 ports:
create vlan v1
configure v1 ip 192.168.1.1/24
enable sharing 5 grouping 5-8 health-check
