Quick Steps for Configuring Dynamic Link
Aggregation
Follow the steps below for a quick tutorial on configuring a dynamic aggregate link between two switches.
Additional information on how to configure each command is given in the subsections that follow.
1 Create the dynamic aggregate group on the local (actor) switch with the lacp linkagg size command as
shown below:
-> lacp linkagg 2 size 8 actor admin key 5
2 Configure ports (the number of ports should be less than or equal to the size value set in step 1) with
the same actor administrative key (which allows them to be aggregated) with the lacp agg actor admin
key command. For example:
-> lacp agg 1/1 actor admin key 5
-> lacp agg 1/4 actor admin key 5
-> lacp agg 3/3 actor admin key 5
-> lacp agg 5/4 actor admin key 5
-> lacp agg 6/1 actor admin key 5
-> lacp agg 6/2 actor admin key 5
-> lacp agg 7/3 actor admin key 5
-> lacp agg 8/1 actor admin key 5
3 Create a VLAN for this dynamic link aggregate group with the vlan command. For example:
-> vlan 2 port default 2
4 Create the equivalent dynamic aggregate group on the remote (partner) switch with the lacp linkagg
size command as shown below:
-> lacp linkagg 2 size 8 actor admin key 5
5 Configure ports (the number of ports should be less than or equal to the size value set in step 4) with
the same actor administrative key (which allows them to be aggregated) with the lacp agg actor admin
key command. For example:
-> lacp agg 2/1 actor admin key 5
-> lacp agg 3/1 actor admin key 5
-> lacp agg 3/3 actor admin key 5
-> lacp agg 3/6 actor admin key 5
-> lacp agg 5/1 actor admin key 5
-> lacp agg 5/6 actor admin key 5
-> lacp agg 8/1 actor admin key 5
-> lacp agg 8/3 actor admin key 5
6 Create a VLAN for this dynamic link aggregate group with the vlan command. For example:
-> vlan 2 port default 2
