Quick Steps for Configuring Dynamic Link
Aggregation
Follow the steps below for a quick tutorial on configuring a dynamic aggregate link between two switches.
Additional information on how to configure each command is given in the subsections that follow.
1 Create the dynamic aggregate group on the local (actor) switch with the
shown below:
-> lacp linkagg 2 size 8
2
Configure ports with the same actor administrative key (which allows them to be aggregated) with the
lacp agg actor admin key
-> lacp agg 1/1 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 1/2 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 1/3 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 1/4 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 1/5 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 1/6 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 1/7 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 1/8 actor admin key 2
3 Create a VLAN for this dynamic link aggregate group with the vlan command. For example:
-> vlan 2 port default 2
4
Create the equivalent dynamic aggregate group on the remote (partner) switch with the
size command as shown below:
-> lacp linkagg 2 size 8
5 Configure ports (the number of ports should be less than or equal to the size value set in Step 4) with
the lacp agg actor admin key
-> lacp agg 2/9 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 2/10 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 2/11 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 2/12 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 2/13 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 2/14 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 2/15 actor admin key 2
-> lacp agg 2/16 actor admin key 2
6 Create a VLAN for this dynamic link aggregate group with the vlan command. For example:
-> vlan 2 port default 2
