LAG distribution process

The LAG aggregator is associated with the collection and distribution of Ethernet frames. The
collection and distribution process is required to guarantee the following:

LACP configuration guidelines and restrictions

This section applies to standards-based and Brocade-proprietary LAG configurations except where
specifically noted otherwise.
Follow these LACP configuration guidelines and restrictions when configuring LACP:

LACP configuration and management

You need to enter either the copy running-config startup-config command or the write memory
command to save your configuration changes to Flash memory so that they are not lost if there is a
system reload or power outage.

Enabling LACP on an CEE interface

To add additional interfaces to an existing LAG, repeat this procedure using the same LAG group
number for the new interfaces.

Inserting and capturing control PDUs.
Restricting the traffic of a given conversation to a specific link.
Load balancing between individual links.
Handling dynamic changes in LAG membership.
All ports on the Brocade FCoE hardware can operate only in full-duplex mode.
QoS—In the Fabric OS version 7.0.0 release, QoS commands for a LAG need to be specified on
each LAG member link, instead of on the logical LAG interface (port-group). Additionally, the
QoS commands specified on each LAG member link need to be the same on each link.
Brocade-proprietary LAGs only—All LAG member links need to be part of the same port-group.
Switchport interfaces—Interfaces configured as "switchport" interfaces cannot be aggregated
into a LAG. However, a LAG can be configured as a switchport.
