Chapter 6 Configuring Port Channels
Configuring Port Channels
This example shows how to configure source IP load balancing for port channels on module 5:
switch# configure terminal
switch (config)# port-channel load-balance source-ip-port module 5
Enabling LACP
LACP is disabled by default; you must enable LACP before you begin LACP configuration. You cannot
disable LACP while any LACP configuration is present.
LACP learns the capabilities of LAN port groups dynamically and informs the other LAN ports. Once
LACP identifies correctly matched Ethernet links, it group the links into a port channel. The port channel
is then added to the spanning tree as a single bridge port.
To configure LACP, you must do the following:
• Enable LACP globally by using the feature lacp command.
• You can use different modes for different interfaces within the same LACP-enabled port channel.
You can change the mode between active and passive for an interface only if it is the only interface
that is designated to the specified channel group.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Ensure that you are in the correct VDC (or use the switchto vdc command).
