Displaying Etherchannel, Pagp, And Lacp Status; Understanding Link-State Tracking - Cisco WS-CBS3032-DEL Software Configuration Manual

Chapter 38 Configuring EtherChannels and Link-State Tracking

Displaying EtherChannel, PAgP, and LACP Status

To display EtherChannel, PAgP, and LACP status information, use the privileged EXEC commands
described in
Table 38-4 Commands for Displaying EtherChannel, PAgP , and LACP Status
Command
show etherchannel [channel-group-number {detail |
port | port-channel | protocol | summary}] {detail |
load-balance | port | port-channel | protocol |
summary}
show pagp [channel-group-number] {counters |
internal | neighbor}
show pagp [channel-group-number] dual-active
show lacp [channel-group-number] {counters |
internal | neighbor}
You can clear PAgP channel-group information and traffic counters by using the clear pagp
{channel-group-number counters | counters} privileged EXEC command.
You can clear LACP channel-group information and traffic counters by using the clear lacp
{channel-group-number counters | counters} privileged EXEC command.
For detailed information about the fields in the displays, see the command reference for this release.

Understanding Link-State Tracking

Link-state tracking, also known as trunk failover, is a feature that binds the link state of multiple
interfaces. Link-state tracking provides redundancy in the network when used with server network
interface card (NIC) adapter teaming. When the server network adapters are configured in a primary or
secondary relationship known as teaming and the link is lost on the primary interface, connectivity
transparently changes to the secondary interface.

tracking, create a link-state group, and specify the interfaces that are assigned to the link-state group. An
interface can be an aggregation of ports (an EtherChannel), a single physical port in access or trunk
mode, or a routed port. In a link-state group, these interfaces are bundled together. The downstream
interfaces are bound to the upstream interfaces. Interfaces connected to servers are referred to as
downstream interfaces, and interfaces connected to distribution switches and network devices are
referred to as upstream interfaces.
