xStack DES-6500 Modular Layer 3 Chassis Ethernet Switch CLI Manual
config lacp_port
Purpose Used to configure settings for LACP compliant ports.
Syntax
config lacp_port <portlist> mode [active | passive]
Description This command is used to configure ports that have been
previously designated as LACP ports (see create
link_aggregation).
Parameters
<portlist> − Specifies a range of ports to be configured. The port
list is specified by listing the lowest slot number and the beginning
port number on that slot, separated by a colon. Then the highest
slot number, and the highest port number of the range (also
separated by a colon) are specified. The beginning and end of the
port list range are separated by a dash. For example, 1:3 specifies
slot number 1, port 3. 2:4 specifies slot number 2, port 4. 1:3-2:4
specifies all of the ports between slot 1, port 3 and slot 2, port 4 −
in numerical order.
mode – Select the mode to determine if LACP ports will initially
send LACP control frames.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
active – Active LACP ports are capable of processing and
sending LACP control frames. This allows LACP compliant
devices to negotiate the aggregated link so the group may be
changed dynamically as needs require. In order to utilize the
ability to change an aggregated port group, that is, to add or
subtract ports from the group, at least one of the participating
devices must designate LACP ports as active. Both devices
must support LACP.
passive – LACP ports that are designated as passive
cannot initially send LACP control frames, unless the port
receives LACP frames. In order to allow the linked port group
to negotiate adjustments and make changes dynamically, at
one end of the connection must have “active” LACP ports
(see above).
Example usage:
To configure LACP port mode settings:
DES-6500:4#config lacp_port 1
:1-1:12 mode active
Command: config lacp_port 1
:1-1:12 mode active
Success.
