In the following example, three ports are aggregated between two switches.

LAG 1
Prior to configuring each switch in this example, you must connect to the
appropriate switches as the administrator.
Note: For details about accessing and using any of the commands described in this
example, see the Lenovo RackSwitch G8264 ISCLI Reference.
a. Define a LAG.
RS G8264(config)# portchannel 3 port 2,9,16
RS G8264(config)# portchannel 3 enable
b. Verify the configuration.
# show portchannel information
Examine the resulting information. If any settings are incorrect, make appropriate
changes.
RS G8264(config)# portchannel 1 port 1,11,18
RS G8264(config)# portchannel 1 enable
LAG 3 (on the G8264) is now connected to LAG 1 (on the other switch).
Note: In this example, two G8264 switches are used. If a third‐party device support‐
ing link aggregation is used (such as Cisco routers and switches with EtherChannel
technology or Sunʹs Quad Fast Ethernet Adapter), LAGs on the third‐party device
must be configured manually. Connection problems could arise when using auto‐
matic LAG negotiation on the third‐party device.
