Configuring the Partner System

You have the option to configure the end-to-end specifications for the link
aggregation. To do so, you must configure both ends of the links. For example,
to configure a LAG with an ID of 13:
1. From Configuration mode on the 8100fl switch enter:
ProCurve(config)#aggregator 13
ProCurve(config-lag-13)#partner-sys-id <mac address>
ProCurve(config-lag-13)#partner-sys-priority <mac
address>
2. Repeat for the other system.

Configuration Restrictions

Keep the following parameter configuration requirements in mind when set­
ting up an aggregation.
Port's port-key value must be same as the aggregator's actorkey value
■
Aggregator's partnerkey value must be the same as the port's partnerkey
■
value
Aggregator's port-type must be the same as the port's port-type (Fast
■
Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, or Tengigabit Ethernet)
Aggregator's aggregation setting must be the same as the port's aggregation
■
setting (aggregatable or individual)
If specified by the user, the aggregator's partner-sys-priority and partner-sys­
■
id (MAC) must equal the port's partner-sys-priority and partner-sys-id
(MAC).
All ports on which LACP is enabled are devoted solely to LACP. All ports
controlled by any aggregator must have the same bandwidth.
