channel-group
Use this command to add the switch port to a dynamic channel group specified by the
dynamic channel group number, and set its mode. This command enables LACP link
aggregation on the switch port, so that it may be selected for aggregation by the local
system. Dynamic channel groups are also known as LACP channel groups, LACP
aggregators or etherchannels.
You can create up to 32 dynamic (LACP) channel groups (and up to 96 static channel
groups).
Use the no variant of this command to turn off link aggregation on the switch port. You
will be returned to Global Configuration mode from Interface Configuration mode.
Syntax channel-group <dynamic-channel-group-number> mode {active|passive}
no channel-group
Mode Interface Configuration
Usage All the switch ports in a channel-group must belong to the same VLANs, have the same
tagging status, and can only be operated on as a group. All switch ports within a channel
group must have the same port speed and be in full duplex mode.
Once the LACP channel group has been created, it is treated as a switch port, and can be
referred to in most other commands that apply to switch ports.
To refer to an LACP channel group in other LACP commands, use the channel group
number. To specify an LACP channel group (LACP aggregator) in other commands, prefix
the channel group number with po. For example, ‘po2’ refers to the LACP channel group
with channel group number 2.
For more on LACP, see “Dynamic (LACP) Channel Groups” on page 20.3 and
Chapter 20, Link Aggregation Introduction and Configuration .
Parameter Description
<dynamic-channel-
group-number> <1-32> Specify a dynamic channel group number for an
LACP link. A maximum of 32 combined dynamic and static
channel groups is supported with the base license. The
optional LAG-128 feature license extends the maximum
number of combined dynamic and static channel groups
supported to 128 with up to 32 dynamic channel groups and
up to 96 static channel groups.
active Enables initiation of LACP negotiation on a port. The port will
transmit LACP dialogue messages whether or not it receives
them from the partner system.
passive Disables initiation of LACP negotiation on a port. The port
will only transmit LACP dialogue messages if the partner
systems is transmitting them, i.e., the partner is in the active
mode.
