represents a user priority that is associated with FCoE traffic.
The range is 0-255. The default is 8.
The default CoS range is 0-7. The default is 0.
The Add LAG Configuration dialog box displays.
NOTE
Only ports that you defined with an Interface Mode of None can be a LAG Member.
The choices are Static and Dynamic. Static mode does not use Link Aggregation Control
Protocol (LACP) to negotiate and manage link aggregation. Link participation in the LAG is
determined by the link's operational status and administrative state. Dynamic mode uses
LACP. LACP allows partner systems to examine the attributes of the links that connect them
and dynamically form a LAG. When you select Dynamic mode, the Active and Passive options
are enabled:
•
If you choose Active, your switch initiates an exchange of LACP data units.
•
If you choose Passive, your switch waits to receive LACP data units from its partner system
and then respond. Passive is the default behavior.
Type refers to the type of trunking used by the LAG. The choices are Standard and Brocade.
Select the Interface Mode.
The options are None and L2. The default is None.
