Configuring The Description Of An Aggregate Interface; Enabling Link State Traps For An Aggregate Interface; Shutting Down An Aggregate Interface - HP A5120 EI Series Configuration Manual

Configuring the description of an aggregate interface

You can configure the description of an aggregate interface for administration purposes such as
describing the purpose of the interface.
Follow these steps to configure the description of an aggregate interface:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter Layer 2 aggregate
interface view
Configure the description of
the aggregate interface

Enabling link state traps for an aggregate interface

You can configure an aggregate interface to generate linkUp trap messages when its link goes up and
linkDown trap messages when its link goes down. For more information, see the Network Management
and Monitoring Configuration Guide.
Follow these steps to enable link state traps on an aggregate interface:
To do...
Enter system view
Enable the trap function
globally
Enter Layer 2 aggregate
interface view
Enable link state traps for the
aggregate interface

Shutting down an aggregate interface

Shutting down or bringing up an aggregate interface affects the aggregation state and link state of ports
in the corresponding aggregation group in the following ways:
 When an aggregate interface is shut down, all Selected ports in the aggregation group become
unselected and their link state becomes down.
When an aggregate interface is brought up, the aggregation state of ports in the aggregation

group is recalculated and their link state becomes up.
Follow these steps to shut down an aggregate interface:
To do...
Enter system view
Use the command...
system-view
interface bridge-aggregation
interface-number
description text
Use the command...
system-view
snmp-agent trap enable [ standard [
linkdown | linkup ] * ]
interface bridge-aggregation interface-
number
enable snmp trap updown
Use the command...
