Chapter 6 Configuring Port Channels
Configuring Port Channels
You can reuse the same configuration for the system priority values in more than one VDC.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Enable LACP.
Ensure that you are in the correct VDC (or use the switch tovdc command).
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal
2. lacp system-priority priority
3. show lacp system-identifier
4. copy running-config startup-config
DETAILED STEPS
This example shows how to set the LACP system priority to 2500:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# lacp system-priority 2500
Configuring the LACP Port Priority
When you enable LACP, you can configure each link in the LACP port channel for the port priority.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Example:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
lacp system-priority priority
Example:
switch(config)# lacp system-priority
40000
Configures the system priority for use with LACP.
Valid values are from 1 through 65535, and higher
numbers have a lower priority. The default value is
32768.
Note Each VDC has a different LACP system ID
because the software adds the MAC address to
this configured value.
Step 3
show lacp system-identifier
Example:
switch(config-if)# show lacp
system-identifier
Displays the LACP system identifier.
Step 4
copy running-config startup-config
Example:
switch(config)# copy running-config
startup-config
(Optional) Copies the running configuration to the
startup configuration.
