Configure Sharing Add Ports - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare XOS Command Reference Manual

Commands for Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch

configure sharing add ports

configure sharing <port> add ports <port_list>
Description
Adds ports to a load-sharing, or link aggregation, group. By using link aggregation, you use multiple
ports as a single logical port. Link aggregation also provides redundancy because traffic is redistributed
to the remaining ports in the LAG if one port in the group goes down.
Syntax Description
port
port_list
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
NOTE
You must create a LAG (or load-sharing group) before you can configure the LAG. To create a LAG, see
sharing <port> grouping <port_list> {algorithm [port-based | address-based {L2|L3}]}
{lacp}.
Use this command to dynamically add ports to a load-sharing group, or link aggregation group (LAG).
VMAN ports can belong to LAGs. If any port in the LAG is enabled for VMAN, all ports in the group
are automatically enabled to handle jumbo size frames. Also, VMAN is automatically enabled on all
ports of the untagged LAG.
To verify your configuration, use the
BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen) and Summit X450 switch only. The
following guidelines apply to link aggregation on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the
Summit X450 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.
The maximum number of LAGs is 32.
●
Any broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast packet is transmitted on a single port in the LAG.
●
304
Specifies the logical port for a load-sharing group or link aggregation group
(LAG). This number also functions as the LAG Group ID.
Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports to be grouped in the LAG.
