Trunk Configuration

– 179 –

All ports on both ends of an LACP trunk must be configured for full

duplex, and auto-negotiation.

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.

N

OTE

:

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 value of this key is set to the

same value as the port admin key used by the interfaces that joined the

group (see the

show lacp

internal

command described on

page 1025

).

These parameters are displayed:

Configure Aggregator

Admin Key – LACP administration key is used to identify a specific link

aggregation group (LAG) during local LACP setup on the switch.

(Range: 0-65535)

Configure Aggregation Port - General

Port – Port identifier. (Range: 1-26)

LACP Status – Enables or disables LACP on a port.

Configure Aggregation Port - Actor/Partner

Port – Port number. (Range: 1-26)

Admin Key – The LACP administration key must be set to the same

value for ports that belong to the same LAG. (Range: 0-65535;

Default – Actor: 1, Partner: 0)
By default, the Actor Admin Key is determined by port's link speed, and

copied to Oper Key. The Partner Admin Key is assigned to zero, and the

Oper Key is set based upon LACP PDUs received from the Partner.

System Priority – LACP system priority is used to determine link

aggregation group (LAG) membership, and to identify this device to

other switches during LAG negotiations. (Range: 0-65535;

Default: 32768)
System priority is combined with the switch’s MAC address to form the

LAG identifier. This identifier is used to indicate a specific LAG during

LACP negotiations with other systems.

Port Priority – If a link goes down, LACP port priority is used to select

a backup link. (Range: 0-65535; Default: 32768)
