Configuring Ports to Join and Removing Ports in a Dynamic
Aggregate Group
The following subsections describe how to configure ports with the same administrative key (which allows
them to be aggregated) or to remove them from a dynamic aggregate group with the lacp agg actor admin
key command.
Configuring Ports To Join a Dynamic Aggregate Group
To configure ports with the same administrative key (which allows them to be aggregated) enter lacp agg
followed by the slot number, a slash (/), the port number, actor admin key, and the user-specified actor
administrative key (which can range from 0 to 65535). Ports must be of the same speed (i.e., all 10 Mbps,
all 100 Mbps, or all 1 Gbps).
For example, to configure ports 1, 2, and 3 in slot 4 with an administrative key of 10 you would enter:
-> lacp agg 4/1 actor admin key 10
-> lacp agg 4/2 actor admin key 10
-> lacp agg 4/3 actor admin key 10
Note. A port may belong to only one aggregate group. In addition, mobile ports cannot be aggregated. See
Chapter 10, “Assigning Ports to VLANs,” for more information on mobile ports.
You must execute the lacp agg actor admin key command on all ports in a dynamic aggregate group. If
not, the ports will be unable to join the group.
In addition, you can also specify optional parameters shown in the table below. These keywords must be
entered after the actor admin key and the user-specified actor administrative key value.
Note. The actor admin state and partner admin state keywords have additional parameters, which are
described in “Modifying the Actor Port System Administrative State” on page 17-19 and “Modifying the
Partner Port System Administrative State” on page 17-23, respectively.
All of the optional keywords listed above for this command may be entered in any order as long as they
appear after the actor admin key keywords and their user-specified value.
For example, to configure actor administrative key of 10, a local system ID (MAC address) of
00:20:da:06:ba:d3, and a local priority of 65535 to slot 4 port 1, enter:
-> lacp agg 4/1 actor admin key 10 actor system id 00:20:da:06:ba:d3 actor
system priority 65535
