Modifying an
Aggregator
This procedure explains how to modify an aggregator. You can change an
aggregator’s name, adminkey, or load distribution method. You can also
use this procedure to add or remove ports. To modify an aggregator, you
need to know its name or adminkey key. It is recommended that you
review the section “LACP Trunk Guidelines” on page 155 before modifying
an aggregator.
Caution
If you will be adding or removing ports from the aggregator, you
should disconnect all network cables from the ports of the
aggregator on the switch before performing the procedure. Adding
or removing ports without first disconnecting the cables can result in
loops in your network topology, which can result in broadcast storms
and poor network performance.
To modify an aggregator, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 1 to select Port Configuration.
The Port Configuration menu is shown in Figure 25 on page 112.
2. From the Port Configuration menu, type 4 to select Port Trunking and

on page 167.
