Enabling ports within a LAG
You can enable an individual port within a trunk using the disable command within the LAG
configuration as shown in the following.
BigIron RX(config)# lag blue static
BigIron RX(config-lag-blue)# deploy
BigIron RX(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 a Ethernet port within
the LAG that you want to enable.
Use the named option with the appropriate <name> variable to specify a named port within the
LAG that you want to enable.
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.
NOTE
You can use only one mirror port for each monitored trunk port. To monitor traffic on an individual
port in a trunk group, enter commands such as the following:
This command enables monitoring of an individual port within a LAG.
BigIron RX(config)# lag blue static
BigIron RX(config-lag-blue)# deploy
BigIron RX(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 a Ethernet
port within the LAG that you want to monitor.
Use the named-port-monitored option with the appropriate <name> variable to specify a named
port within 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.
NOTE
Mirror (analyzer) ports cannot be assigned to the 16x10G card. You can monitor traffic on 16x10
ports.
Assigning a name to a port within a LAG
You can assign a name to an individual port within a LAG using the port-name command within the
LAG configuration as shown in the following.
