Configuring LACP link aggregates

ExtremeWare v. 7.5 enables you to configure LACP. Use contiguous ports and let the first port
be the master. In the following command, port 23 is the master port:
enable sharing 23 grouping 23-27 dynamic
Then, display the aggregation using the show ports sharing command as follows:
Switch2 # show ports 23-27 sharing
Load Sharing Monitor
Config
Master
==========================================================
23
Link Status: (A) Active, (D) Disabled, (LB) Loopback, (ND) Not Distributing
Ld Share Type: (a) address based, (dy) dynamic
In the previous example, dy indicates LACP protocol.

Procurve switches

This section describes information for the following Procurve switches:
•

Procurve 4000/8000

•

Procurve 4108

• Procurve 9304/8
Procurve 4000/8000
This section provides the following information that you might find useful in using these switches:
• Power cycling the Procurve switch turns flow control off. You must turn flow control on for
all ports after power cycling the switch.
• Both the 4000 and 8000 switch have backplane limitation of 3.8 Gb/s. This makes them
unsuitable for testing Gigabit Ethernet.
• The Procurve 4000/8000 does not support Jumbo frames.
To configure the switch, do the following:
1. Log in to the switch.
2. Press Enter several times to display the Main Menu.
3. Enter 3 (switch configuration).
4. Enter 2 (port configuration).
5. Use the arrow key to select edit.
6. Use the arrow key to select a field; press the space bar to cycle choices.
7. When finished, press Enter to return to the action keys.
8. Enter save.
9. Enter save again to display the Switch Configuration menu.
10. Enter 0 (zero) to display the Main Menu.
11. Enter 0 (zero) to logout. Then, enter Y to confirm.
12. Enter Ctrl+] to exit telnet.
Procurve 4108
The Procurve 4108 does not handle 9000 MTU.
