Chapter 6 Configuring Port Channels
Configuring Port Channels
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Enable LACP.
Ensure that you are in the correct VDC (or use the switchto vdc command).
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal
2. interface type slot/port
3. lacp port-priority priority
4. copy running-config startup-config
DETAILED STEPS
This example shows how to set the LACP port priority for Ethernet interface 1/4 to 40000:
switch# configure terminal
switch (config)# interface ethernet 1/4
switch(config-if)# lacp port-priority 40000
Disabling LACP Graceful Convergence
By default, LACP graceful convergence is enabled. In situations where you need to support LACP
interoperability with devices where the graceful failover defaults may delay the time taken for a disabled
port to be brought down or cause traffic from the peer to be lost, you can disable convergence.
Note The port channel has to be in the administratively down state before the command can be run.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Example:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
interface type slot/port
Example:
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/4
switch(config-if)
Specifies the interface to configure, and enters the
interface configuration mode.
Step 3
lacp port-priority priority
Example:
switch(config-if)# lacp port-priority
40000.
Configures the port priority for use with LACP. Valid
values are from1 through 65535, and higher numbers
have a lower priority. The default value is 32768.
Step 4
copy running-config startup-config
Example:
switch(config-if)# copy running-config
startup-config
(Optional) Copies the running configuration to the
startup configuration.
