Adding Ports To Aggregators - Allied Telesis AT-8100L/8 User Manual

Adding Ports to Aggregators

The command to add ports to existing aggregators is the same command
to create new aggregators, the CHANNEL-GROUP command in the Port
Interface mode. To use the command, move to the Port Interface mode of
the ports you want to add to an aggregator and issue the command.
Note
You cannot add to an aggregator any ports that are below the base
port. For instance, you cannot add any ports below port 15 to an
aggregator that has ports 15 to 22.
When you enter the command, specify the ID number of the existing
aggregator to which the new ports are to be assigned. If you do not know
the ID number, use the SHOW ETHERCHANNEL DETAIL command.
If the new ports of an aggregator are already members of other
aggregators, you do not have to remove them from their current
assignments before adding them to a different aggregator. The
management software does that automatically.
Caution
To avoid creating a loop in your network topology, do not connect
the network cables to the aggregator ports until you have performed
the CHANNEL-GROUP command.
These commands add ports 18 and 23 to the aggregator with ID number 5:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.18,port1.0.23
awplus(config-if)# channel-group 5
