Lacp Configuration; Lacp Configuration Example - Dell Force10 S2410-01-10GE-24P Configuration Manual

LACP works by constantly exchanging custom MAC PDUs across LAN Ethernet links. The protocol
packets are only exchanged between ports that are configured to be LACP-capable.

LACP Configuration

SFTOS allows the user to enable LACP and configure LACP timeout characteristics for a particular LAG.
Note: LACP is enabled by default.
The following commands configure LACP:
Command Syntax
protocol lacp
[no] port lacptimeout {short all | long
all}
[no] port lacptimeout {short | long}
Note: The [no] port lacpmode enable command (Interface Config mode) and [no] port
lacpmode enable all command (Global Config mode) are deprecated.

LACP configuration example

Figure 11-133 shows the assignment of ports to a LAG.
(enabled with LACP) by default:
Figure 11-133. Example of LAG Configuration with LACP Enabled by Default
Force10 (Config)#interface port-channel 2
Force10 (conf-if-po-
Force10 (conf-if-po- 2)#channel-member 1/0/22-1/0/24
You would also need to enable the ports in the LAG.
To convert the LAG to static, use
Command Mode
Interface Port
Channel Config
Global Config
Interface Config
2)#no shutdown
protocol static , in Interface Port Channel Config mode.
Purpose
If you converted a LAG to static, this command
reenables LACP on the LAG.
Configure the system LACP timeout.
Configure the LACP timeout at a port level.
Figure 11-134 displays that the LAG is dynamic
