Configuring a LAG

The following configuration procedures are used to configure a LAG. Depending upon whether you are configuring a static, dynamic or keep-alive LAG, the configuration procedures may or may not apply as described:

  • Creating a Link Aggregation Group - Required for all static, dynamic or keep alive LAGs.
  • Adding Ports to a LAG - Required for all static, dynamic, or keep alive LAGs. A keep alive LAG contains only one port while static and dynamic LAGs can have 1 to 12 ports.
  • Configuring the Primary Port for a LAG - Required for all static and dynamic LAGs. Since a keep alive LAG contains only one port, it is unnecessary to configure this parameter.
  • Configuring the Load Sharing Type - Optional for all static and dynamic LAGs. Since a keep alive LAG contains only one port, it is unnecessary to configure this parameter.
  • Specifying the LAG Threshold for a LAG Group - Optional for static and dynamic LAGs. Since a keep alive LAG contains only one port, it is unnecessary to configure this parameter.
  • Configuring an LACP Timeout - Optional for dynamic and keep alive LAGs.
