Commands for Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch
On the BlackDiamond 10K switch, if you do not explicitly select an algorithm, the port-based scheme is
used. However, the address-based algorithm has a more even distribution and is the recommended
choice.
NOTE
You must use the
command to configure address-based load sharing on
configure sharing address-based
the BlackDiamond 10K switch.
Example
The following example defines a static link aggregation group (LAG) on a modular switch that contains
ports 9 through 12 on slot 3, ports 7 through 10 on slot 5, and uses the first port on slot 3 as the logical
port 9 on a modular switch:
enable sharing 3:9 grouping 3:9-3:12, 5:7-5:10
In this example, logical port 3:9 represents physical ports 3:9 through 3:12 and 5:7 through 5:10.
The following example defines a dynamic LAG on a stand-alone switch containing ports 10 through 15,
with port 10 being the logical port:
enable sharing 10 grouping 10-15 lacp
