Configuring Link Aggregation

Either static or dynamic (also known as LACP) configuration can be selected for Link Aggregation.
• Static configuration
Configures aggregation groups statically.
• LACP
Configures link aggregation using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). The LACP is a switch-to-switch
control protocol that enables dynamic configuration of aggregation groups and is standardized by the IEEE802.3ad.
The LACP facilitates load balancing across the individual links aggregated between the devices connected.
Either "active" or "passive" LACP mode can be selected.
- active
The device starts LACP negotiation. Since the active mode allows the reception of LACP control frames, it is
possible to direct the device in "active" mode.
- passive
The device responds to LACP control frames but does not start LACP negotiation.
To configure static link aggregation, carry out the following procedure in "admin" Operation mode.
XG2600# configure
XG2600(config)# ether 1-8 type linkaggregation 1
XG2600(config)# linkaggregation 1 mode static
XG2600(config)# commit
XG2600(config)# save
XG2600(config)# exit
To configure LACP link aggregation, carry out the following procedure in "admin" Operation mode.
XG2600# configure
XG2600(config)# ether 1-8 type linkaggregation 1
XG2600(config)# ether 11-18 type linkaggregation 2
XG2600(config)# linkaggregation 1 mode active
XG2600(config)# linkaggregation 2 mode passive
XG2600(config)# commit
XG2600(config)# save
XG2600(config)# exit
