Configuring Dynamic Link Aggregation

Configuring Mandatory Dynamic Link Aggregate Parameters

When configuring LACP link aggregates on a switch you must perform the following steps:
1
Create the Dynamic Aggregate Groups on the Local (Actor) and Remote (Partner) Switches. To
create a dynamic aggregate group use the
ing and Deleting a Dynamic Aggregate Group" on page
2
Configure the Same Administrative Key on the Ports You Want to Join the Dynamic Aggregate
Group. To configure ports with the same administrative key (which allows them to be aggregated), use
the linkagg lacp agg actor admin-key
Removing Ports in a Dynamic Aggregate Group" on page
Note. Depending on the needs of your network you need to configure additional parameters. Commands to
configure optional dynamic link aggregate parameters are described in
Aggregate Group Parameters" on page
aggregate group.

Creating and Deleting a Dynamic Aggregate Group

The following subsections describe how to create and delete dynamic aggregate groups with the
lacp agg size command.
Creating a Dynamic Aggregate Group
To configure a dynamic aggregate group, enter linkagg lacp agg followed by the user-configured
dynamic aggregate number, size, and the maximum number of links that belong to this dynamic aggregate
group. For example, to configure the dynamic aggregate group 2 consisting of eight links enter:
-> linkagg lacp agg 2 size 8
You can create link aggregation (both static and dynamic) groups for a standalone or a chassis-based
switch. In addition, you can also specify optional parameters shown in the table below. These parameters
must be entered after size and the user-specified number of links.

name
actor system-priority
partner system-priority
For example, assigning the actor admin key when you create the dynamic aggregate group is
recommended to help ensure that ports are assigned to the correct group. To create a dynamic aggregate
group with aggregate number 3 consisting of two ports with an admin actor key of 10, for example, enter:
-> linkagg lacp agg 3 size 2 actor admin-key 10
Note. The optional keywords for this command can be entered in any order as long as they are entered after
size and the user-specified number of links.
