default is no port member.
speed [100 | 1000]
Set the operating speed of the port aggregate to 100 or 1000
Mbps. Note that the speed will be applied only when the
negotiation is disabled (that is, no auto-negotiation). By
default, all added ports are configured to 1000 Mbps.
The no form of the commands will reset each parameter to its defaults, or if the default is that the parameter has no
value, then it will be deleted. For example, the EtherAggregate is not created by default, so the no command for

You can use the following show command in enable mode to display the current EtherAggregate configuration setup
on the router:

5.13.2 EtherAggregate Limitations and Restrictions
If improperly configured, some EtherAggregate are automatically disabled to avoid network loops and other problems.
Follow these restrictions to avoid configuration problems:
•
Configure an EtherAggregate with up to 2–4 Ethernet interfaces of the same type.
•
Configure all interfaces in an EtherAggregate to operate at the same speeds and duplex modes.
•
The difference of interface number in an EtherAggregate cannot be greater or equal than 8. For example, eth1
and eth9 cannot be in the same EtherAggregate.
•
When an EtherAggregate is first created, all ports follow the parameters set for the primary port, which is the
lowest port number to be added to the EtherAggregate. For example, out of eth2, eth5, eth1, the primary port will
be eth1. If you change the configuration of one of these parameters, you must also make the changes to all ports
in the EtherAggregate.

•
An EtherAggregate interface that is configured as a monitor or mirror port does not join the EtherAggregate until
it is deconfigured as a mirror/monitor port. Do not configure a port that belongs to an EtherAggregate port group
as a secure port.
•
Assign all interfaces in the EtherAggregate to the same VLAN, or configure them as IEEE 802.1q trunks.
Interfaces with different native VLANs cannot form an EtherAggregate.
•
An EtherAggregate supports the same allowed range of VLANs on all the interfaces in a trunking Layer 2
EtherAggregate. If the allowed range of VLANs is not the same, the interfaces do not form an EtherAggregate.
•
Interfaces with different spanning-tree path costs can form an EtherAggregate if they are otherwise compatibly
configured. Setting different spanning-tree path costs does not, by itself, make interfaces incompatible for the
formation of an EtherAggregate.
