ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.
Commands for Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch
Summit X450 series switch only. The following guidelines apply to link aggregation on the Summit X450
series switch:
One static LAG can contain up to 8 ports.
●
An LACP (dynamic) LAG can include a maximum of 16 ports; out of these up to 8 can be selected
●
links and the remaining 8 will be standby links.
The maximum number of LAGs is 32.
●
The default load-sharing algorithm is L2 address-based aggregation. Any broadcast, multicast, or
●
unknown unicast packet is transmitted on a single port in the LAG.
The available address-based parameters on the Summit X450 series switch are L2 for Layer 2 and L3
●
for Layer 3. If the packet is not IP, the switch applies the Layer 2 algorithm, which is the default
setting.
NOTE
You cannot configure port-based load sharing algorithm on the Summit X450 series switch; you configure only
address-based load-sharing algorithms.
BlackDiamond 8800 series switch only. The following guidelines apply to link aggregation on the
BlackDiamond 8800 series switch:
A static LAG can include a maximum of 8 ports.
●
An LACP (dynamic) LAG can include a maximum of 16 ports; out of these up to 8 can be selected
●
links and the remaining 8 will be standby links.
NOTE
You cannot configure port-based load sharing algorithm on the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch and the Summit
X450 family of switches; you configure only address-based load-sharing algorithms.
The available address-based parameters on the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch are L2 for Layer 2
●
and L3 for Layer 3.
If the packet is not IP, the switch applies the Layer 2 algorithm, which is the default setting.
Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS software version 11.2, the switch can use IPv6 addresses.
The maximum number of LAGs is 32.
●
Broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast packets are transmitted differently depending on the
●
device you are using:
On the BlackDiamond 8800 original modules, these packets are transmitted on a single port of a
■
LAG.
On the BlackDiamond 8800 a-series and e-series modules, these packets are distributed across all
■
members of a LAG.
Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS version 11.5, the maximum number of LAGs is 128 unless a
●
10G4X module is in use in the chassis, in which case the maximum number of LAGs is 32.
NOTE
You cannot configure more than 32 LAGs on a BlackDiamond 8800 chassis with a 10G4X module running or that
has a slot configured for the 10G4X module.
