Configuring A Static Aggregation Group; Configuring A Dynamic Aggregation Group - HP 5820X series Configuration Manual

You cannot assign a port to a Layer 2 aggregation group if any of the features listed in
configured on the port.
Table 8 Features incompatible with Layer 2 aggregation groups

RRPP

IP source guard
802.1X
If a port is used as a reflector port for port mirroring, do not assign it to any aggregation group. For more
information about reflector ports, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.
To achieve better load sharing results for data traffic among the member ports of a link aggregation
group, assign ports of the same type (such as all 100 Mbps ports or all GE ports and so on) to the link
aggregation group.

Configuring a static aggregation group

To guarantee a successful static aggregation, ensure that the ports at both ends of each link are in the
same aggregation state.
To configure a Layer 2 static aggregation group:
To do...
1. Enter system view
2. Create a Layer 2 aggregate
interface and enter the Layer
2 aggregate interface view
3. Exit to system view
4. Enter Layer 2 Ethernet
interface view
5. Assign the Ethernet interface
to the aggregation group

Configuring a dynamic aggregation group

To guarantee a successful dynamic aggregation, make sure that the peer ports of the ports aggregated at
one end are also aggregated. The two ends can negotiate the aggregation state of each member port
automatically.
To configure a Layer 2 dynamic aggregation group:
Reference
RRPP configuration in the High Availability Configuration Guide
MAC authentication configuration in the Security Configuration Guide
Port security configuration in the Security Configuration Guide
IP source guard configuration in the Security Configuration Guide
802.1X configuration in the Security Configuration Guide

Remarks
—
Required.
When you create a Layer 2
aggregate interface, the system
automatically creates a Layer 2
static aggregation group
numbered the same.
—
Required.
Repeat these two steps to assign
multiple Layer 2 Ethernet
interfaces to the aggregation
group.
