Deploying a LAG

6

Use the named option with the appropriate slot/port variable to specify a named port within the
LAG that you want to disable.

When a port is deleted from a deployed static LAG, the LACP BDPU forwarding state of the LAG will
be retained for the deleted port.

Enabling ports within a LAG

You can enable an individual port within a LAG using the enable command.

Brocade(config)# lag blue static

Brocade(config-lag-blue)# deploy

Brocade(config-lag-blue)# enable ethernet 3/1

Syntax: [no] enable ethernet [slot/port] | named name

Use the ethernet option with the appropriate slot/port variable to specify an Ethernet port to be
enabled in the LAG.

Use the named option with the appropriate slot/port variable to specify a named port in the LAG
that you want to enable.

When adding a port to a currently deployed dynamic LAG the LACP BPDU Forwarding configuration
must be the same as the LAG. Follow the procedure

“Enabling and Disabling LACP BPDU

Forwarding on a Port”

.

Monitoring an individual LAG port

By default, when you monitor the primary port in a LAG group, aggregated traffic for all the ports in
the LAG is copied to the mirror port. You can configure the device to monitor individual ports in a
LAG, including Ethernet, or named ports. You can monitor the primary port or a secondary port
individually.

You can use only one mirror port for each monitored LAG port. To monitor traffic on an individual
port in a LAG group, enter commands such as the following:

This command enables monitoring of an individual port within a LAG.

Brocade(config)# lag blue static

Brocade(config-lag-blue)# deploy

Brocade(config-lag-blue)# monitor ethe-port-monitored 3/1 ethernet 10/3 both

Syntax: [no] monitor ethe-port-monitored slot/port | named-port-monitored name | ethernet

slot/port [input | output | both]

Use the ethe-port-monitored option with the appropriate slot/port variable to specify an Ethernet
port in the LAG that you want to monitor.

Use the named-port-monitored option with the appropriate slot/port variable to specify a named
port in the LAG that you want monitor.

The ethernet slot/port parameter specifies the port to which the traffic analyzer is attached.

The input | output | both parameters specify the traffic direction to be monitored.

Naming a port in a LAG

You can name an individual port in a LAG using the port-name command within the LAG
configuration as shown in the following.
