Chapter 11: Link aggregation configuration

IEEE 802.3ad-based (IEEE 802.3 2002 clause 43) link aggregation allows you to aggregate one or more
links together to form a link aggregation group (LAG), such that a MAC client can treat the LAG as if it
were a single link.
LACP is supported on all Ethernet ports. Prior to release 10.2, LACP was supported only on the Avaya
Secure Router 4134 Ethernet module ports. In the current release, LACP is supported on SR4134 Module
Ethernet ports and Chassis Ethernet ports. LACP is supported on all Avaya Secure Router 2330 Ethernet
ports as well. All types of LACP configuration (static, dynamic, active, and passive) are supported on all
these port types. The only limitation is that, on the SR4134, the Chassis Ethernet ports and Module
Ethernet ports cannot be aggregated in the same LAG.
Each bridge supports up to eight Link Aggregation Groups (LAG). Each link supports up to four
interfaces.

Configuring LACP

Use the procedures in this section to enable LACP on an Ethernet interface.

Configuring static mode

In static mode, the link aggregation forms without any LACP negotiation. That is, the Secure
Router 2330/4134 neither sends the LACP packet nor processes any incoming LACP
packet.
Procedure steps
