Manual Aggregation Of Lags; Flexible Assignment Of Ports To Lags - Dell Networking 2024 Reference Manual

• MODULO-N operation based on the number of ports in the LAG.
• Packet attributes selection based on the packet type. For L2 packets,
Source and Destination MAC address are used for hash computation. For
IP packets, Source IP, Destination IP address, TCP/UDP ports are used.
• Non-Unicast traffic and Unicast traffic is hashed using a common hash
algorithm.
• Excellent load balancing performance.
• Enhanced LAG hashing is the default hashing mode for LAGs.

Manual Aggregation of LAGs

Dell Networking switching supports the manual addition and deletion of links
to aggregates.
In the manual configuration of aggregates, the ports send their Actor
Information (LACPDUs) to the partner system in order to find a suitable
Partner to form an aggregation. When the Partner System neglects to respond
using LACPDUs, the Dell Networking switching aggregates manually. The
Dell Networking switching uses the currently configured default Partner
Values for Partner Information.

Flexible Assignment of Ports to LAGs

Assignment of interfaces to dynamic LAGs is based upon a maximum of 144
interfaces assigned to dynamic LAGs, a maximum of 128 dynamic LAGs and
a maximum of 8 interfaces per dynamic LAG. For example, 128 LAGs may be
assigned 2 interfaces each or 18 LAGs may be assigned 8 interfaces each.
