5.13.2 LACP link aggregation protocol
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) function is the aggreagtion of multiple physical links into a
single link. Link aggregation allows to increase the link bandwidth and robustness. LACP performs traffic
transmission via aggregated links according to the defined priorities.
To enable the interface operation via LACP protocol, use 'channel-group {group} mode
auto' command in the configuration mode of the respective interface.
Global configuration mode commands
Command line request in global configuration mode appears as follows:
console(config)#
Table 5.49 —Global configuration mode commands
lacp system-priority value
Define the system priority.
Restore the default value.
Ethernet interface configuration mode commands
Command line request in Ethernet interface configuration mode appears as follows:
console(config-if)#
Table 5.50 —Ethernet interface configuration mode commands
lacp timeout {long | short}
The 'long' value is used by
default.
Set LACP protocol administrative timeout.
- long—long timeout
- short—short timeout
Restore the default value.
Set the Ethernet inteface priority.
Restore the default value.
EXEC mode commands
Command line request in EXEC mode appears as follows:
console#
