Configuring LACP
To enable and configure LACP on OAW-AP220 Series, OAW-AP270 Series, and OAW-AP320 Series access points,
configure the LMS IP address and the GRE Striping IP address. The GRE Striping IP does not belong to any
physical or virtual interface on the switch, but the switch can transmit or receive packets using this IP. In AOS-W
6.3.1.0 to 6.4.1.x, GRE striping is configured in the AP System profile. In AOS-W 6.4.2 and later versions, the
GRE striping parameter is configured in the AP LACP Striping profile. This profile is local configuration for a
switch. It needs to be configured on all the switches where a LACP AP can terminate, that is, its lms/backup-lms
or active/standby HA switches.
You can configure LACP features using the WebUI or the CLI. The procedure varies, depending upon the
version of AOS-W running on your switch.
LACP Striping Profile
ap-lacp-striping-ip profile is a local configuration and each switch where a Link Aggression (LAG) AP
terminates must have this profile. The lms-ip value in an AP's ap-system-profile is used as a key to look
upstriping-ip in ap-lacp-striping-ip profile.
To configure LAG on lms and backup or HA standby lms:
1. Globally, configure lms-ip, for example, 192.0.2.1 in the ap-system-profile by executing the following
command.
(host) (config) #ap system-profile LACP
(host) (AP system profile "LACP") #lms-ip 192.0.2.1
2. On LMS 192.0.2.1, enable ap-lacp and add an entry by executing the following commands.
(host) (config) #ap-lacp-striping-ip
(host) (AP LACP LMS map information) #striping-ip 192.0.2.2 lms 192.0.2.1
3. On backup or standby LMS with IP address, 192.0.77.1 in ap-lacp-striping-ip profile, enable ap-lacp and add
an entry by executing the following commands.
(bkup-host) (config) #ap-lacp-striping-ip
(bkup-host) (AP LACP LMS map information) #striping-ip 192.0.77.2 lms 192.0.2.1
Enabling Link Aggression
To enable LAG on an AP, the following parameters must be configured and enabled:
1. lms IP should be configured in ap system profile.
2. ap-lacp-striping-ip profile should be enabled and an entry, skip in ap-lacp-striping-ip should be present
for ap-lacp-striping-ip for the lms IP configured in ap system profile.
3. enet1 profile of the AP should not be shutdown (That is, the parameter ap wired-port-profile of enet1
should have the value of shutdown as no)
4. enet1 profile of the AP should be disabled (that is, it should not be enabled for wired client access. In the ap
wired-ap-profile parameter settings, the Wired AP enable should be set to disabled.)
If any one of the above parameters are not enabled, LAG will not be enabled on the AP. Check striping IP in show ap
debug lacp <AP> to ensure that it is not zero.
Using the WebUI, in AOS-W 6.4.2.x and later
Follow the procedure to configure the LACP parameters in the AP System profile and AP LACP LMS map
information profile:
1. Access the active switch and navigate to the Configuration > Advanced Services > All Profiles page.
2. Expand the AP profiles menu in the Profiles pane.
3. Expand the AP System profiles menu, and select the AP system profile you want to modify.
