Configuration Examples for Port Channels

Configuration Example: Create an LACP Port Channel
This example shows how to set the LACP-enabled interface to the active port channel mode for Ethernet
interface 1/4 in channel group 5 and then configure an LACP port profile for the port channel:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# feature lacp
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/4
switch(config-if)# channel-group 5 mode active
switch(config-if)# port-profile type ethernet system-uplink
switch(config-port-prof)# vmware port-group lacp
switch(config-port-prof)# switchport mode trunk
switch(config-port-prof)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-100
switch(config-port-prof)# channel-group auto mode active
switch(config-port-prof)# system vlan 1,10,20
switch(config-port-prof)# state enabled
switch(config-port-prof)# show port-channel summary
switch(config-port-prof)# copy running-config startup-config
Configuration Example: Configuring Network State Tracking for vPC-HM
This example shows how to configure Network State Tracking with an 8-second interval between sent
broadcasts, with a maximum of 7 missed broadcasts before declaring a split network, and how to repin traffic
to another uplink if a split network is detected:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# track network-state
switch(config)# track network-state interval 8
switch(config)# track network-state split action repin
switch(config)# track network-state threshold miss-count 7
switch(config)# show network-state tracking config
Tracking mode
Tracking Interval
Miss count threshold : 7 pkts
Split-network action : repin
switch(config)#

Feature Information
IPv6 packets will be parsed and
matching IPv6 fields will be used
for load balancing.
You can assign up to seven backup
subgroups when pinning the
primary subgroup.
The subgroup numbering begins at
zero and is not tied to the vmnic
number.
