Configuring Lacp Mad - HP 6125XLG Configuration Manual

Configuring LACP MAD

When you use LACP MAD, follow these guidelines:
• The intermediate device must be a device that supports extended LACP for MAD.
If the intermediate device is also an IRF fabric, assign the two IRF fabrics different domain IDs for
•
correct split detection.
Use dynamic link aggregation mode. MAD is LACP dependent. Even though LACP MAD can be
•
configured on both static and dynamic aggregate interfaces, it takes effect only on dynamic
aggregate interfaces.
Configure link aggregation settings on the intermediate device.
•
To configure LACP MAD:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Assign a domain ID to the IRF
fabric.
3. Create an aggregate
interface and enter
aggregate interface view.
4. Configure the aggregation
group to operate in dynamic
aggregation mode.
5. Enable LACP MAD.
6. Return to system view.
7. Enter Ethernet interface view
or interface range view.
8. Assign the Ethernet port or
the range of Ethernet ports to
the specified aggregation
group.

Remarks
N/A
The default IRF domain ID is 0.
Perform this step also on the
intermediate device.
By default, an aggregation
group operates in static
aggregation mode.
Perform this step also on the
intermediate device.
By default, LACP MAD is
disabled.
N/A
To assign a range of ports to the
aggregation group, enter
interface range view.
To assign one port to the
aggregation group, enter
Ethernet interface view.
Multichassis link aggregation is
allowed.
Perform this step on the
intermediate device as well.
