Dynamic link aggregation
• The dynamic link aggregation ((802.3ad) implementation on TurboIron X Series devices allows
any number or ports up to eight to be aggregated into a link.
• The default key assigned to an aggregate link is based on the port type (1 Gbps port or 10
Gbps port). The device assigns different keys to 10 Gbps ports than on 1 Gbps ports so that
ports with different physical capabilities will not be able to form a trunk.
NOTE
The trunks that will be formed by link aggregation will strictly adhere to the static trunking rules
on the device. Be careful in selecting keys if you are manually configuring link aggregation
keys. Make sure that the possible trunks that you expect to be formed conform to the static
trunking rules.
• When the feature dynamically adds or changes a trunk group, the show trunk command
displays the trunk as both configured and active. However, the show running-config or write
terminal command does not contain a trunk command defining the new or changed trunk
group.
