Configuring an Aggregator Switch
Perform the following steps to configure AMP on an aggregator switch:
1. Turn off Spanning Tree.
>> # spanning-tree mode disable
2. Define a trunk group for the aggregator-aggregator link (optional). You may use
a single port-to-port link.
>> #
portchannel 5 port 1
>> #
portchannel 5 port 2
>> #
portchannel 5 enable
3. Turn AMP on, and define the aggregator.
>> #
active-multipath enable
>> #
active-multipath switch-type aggregator
>> #
active-multipath switch-priority 10
4. Configure the aggregator-aggregator link. Use the trunk group defined in step
2.
>> #
active-multipath aggr-portchannel 5
5. Define the AMP group links, and enable the AMP group.
>> #
active-multipath group 1 portchannel 5
>> #
active-multipath group 1 port2 10
>> #
active-multipath group 1 enable
Each AMP group has two links, one to each peer switch in the group. For an
aggregator, one AMP group link connects to the other aggregator, and one to the
access switch.
Configuring an Access Switch
Perform the following steps to configure AMP on an access switch:
1. Turn off Spanning Tree.
>> # spanning-tree mode disable
2. Turn AMP on.
>> # active-multipath enable
3. Define the AMP group links, and enable the AMP group.
>> # active-multipath group 1 port 3
>> # active-multipath group 1 port2 4
>> # active-multipath group 1 enable
