Migrating from a previous release to 08.0.00a LAG or LACP
configuration
If you are upgrading from a version of the software prior to 08.0.00a and have either LAGs or LACP
configured, the previous configuration will be automatically updated with the new commands to form
an LAG that is equivalent to the previous configuration. To accomplish this, the old trunk and link-
aggregation commands are maintained during startup configuration parsing, but disabled during
normal configurations.
The following are the major differences between in LAG configuration in 08.0.00a and prior releases:
• A LAG is not created until a LAG is deployed using the deploy command.
• LACP is not started until a dynamic LAG is deployed.
• The number of LAG ports can range between 1 and 8. For FSX 3rd generation modules, the port
range is between 1 and 12. A LAG is created even if a static or dynamic LAG has only one port.
The following process is followed during the conversion of the trunk and link-aggregation to the new
LAG commands.
1. For any static lag configured using the trunk ethernet stack/slot/port to stack/slot/port command,
the following conversion procedure is followed.
