說明


This article explains how Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) are implemented on Dell Networking Force10 Switches.

 

Options for LAG type

 

  • Static
  • Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)


Example of Static LAG


 

Command

Purpose

ftos#configure

Enter configuration mode.

ftos(conf)#interface port-channel 1

Define the port-channel number.

ftos(conf-if-po-1)#channel member te 0/1 - 4

Set the range of physical ports needed in the port channel.  Command requires a space between the numbers and hyphen.

ftos(conf-if-po-1)#no shutdown

Set Admin mode to up on the port channel.


 

Example of LACP LAG



LACP Modes

 

  • Active -- In this state, the interface is said to be in the "active negotiating state." LACP runs on any link that is configured to be in this state. A port in Active state automatically initiates negotiations with other ports by initiating LACP packets.
  • Passive -- Passive — In this state, the interface is not in an active negotiating state, but LACP runs on the link. A port in Passive state responds to negotiation requests from ports in Active state. Ports in Passive state respond to LACP packets.

     

Command

Purpose

ftos# configure

Enter configuration mode.

ftos(conf)# interface range te 0/1 - 4

Enter the range of physical ports needed for the port channel.  Command requires a space between the numbers and hyphen.

ftos(conf-inf-range-gi0/0-3)# no shutdown

Set Admin mode to up on the port.

ftos(conf-inf-range-gi0/0-3)# port-channel-protocol lacp

Enter port channel protocol type LACP.

ftos(conf-inf-range-gi0/0-3-lacp)#port-channel 1 mode [active | passive]

Define the port-channel number and mode.


 

Verification & Monitoring commands


 

Command

Purpose

ftos#show interfaces port-channel brief

Shows abbreviated details of all port channels configured.

ftos#show lacp 1

Shows details of specific port channel in LACP mode.

ftos#show interfaces port-channel 1

Shows details of specified port channel interface.



 

Configuration options provided are validated using firmware version 9.4.0.0. Depending on the firmware version installed you may see slight differences in the command options.
