Link Aggregation Commands - D-Link xStack Reference Manual

xStack
The link aggregation commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate parameters)
in the following table.
Link aggregation, also known as trunking, is a method of grouping physical link segments of the same media type and
speed, and treating them as if they were part of a single, logical link segment. In general, link aggregation provides two
important benefits: increased performance and increased resiliency.
Command
create link_aggregation group_id
delete link_aggregation group_id
config link_aggregation group_id
config link_aggregation algorithm
show link_aggregation
config lacp_port
show lacp_port
Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections.

DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch CLI Manual
Parameters
<value 1-32> {type [lacp | static]}
<value 1-32>
<value 1-32> {master_port <port> | ports <portlist> | state [enable | disable]}
[mac_source | mac_destination | mac_source_dest | ip_source | ip_destination |
ip_source_dest]
{group_id <value 1-32> | algorithm}
<portlist> mode [active | passive]
{<portlist>}
Used to create a link aggregation group on the Switch.
create link_aggregation group_id <value 1-32> {type [lacp | static]}
This command will create a link aggregation group with a unique identifier.
<value> − Specifies the group ID. The Switch allows up to 32 link aggregation groups to be
configured. The group number identifies each of the groups.
type – Specify the type of link aggregation used for the group. If the type is not specified the
default type is static.
1. lacp – This designates the port group as LACP compliant. LACP allows dynamic
adjustment to the aggregated port group. LACP compliant ports may be further
configured (see config lacp_ports). LACP compliant must be connected to LACP
compliant devices.
2. static – This designates the aggregated port group as static. Static port groups can not
be changed as easily as LACP compliant port groups since both linked devices must
be manually configured if the configuration of the trunked group is changed.
Only Administrator and Operator-level users can issue this command.
