Chapter 3 Basic T1000/Unison Load-Balancing Configuration
Configuring Trunking
A trunk interface binds two or more interfaces together for increased bandwidth over a link
and/or increased fault tolerance. The T1000 divides traffic equally between the interfaces.
Use the set interface, set channel, and set lacp commands to create a trunk (LACP)
interface on the ports connected to the Unison blade switch.
The following example shows how to use set interface to apply LACP mode and assign an
LACP key to the interfaces that will be trunked together:
>set interface 10/1 -tagall ON -lacpMode ACTIVE -lacpKey 1 -throughput 0
-bandwidthHigh 0 -bandwidthNormal 0
Done
>set interface 10/2 -tagall ON -lacpMode ACTIVE -lacpKey 1 -throughput 0
-bandwidthHigh 0 -bandwidthNormal 0
Done
The set channel command configures the trunk port. It has the following syntax:
set channel id [-state {ENABLED | DISABLED}] [-speed speed] [-flowControl
flowControl] [-haMonitor {ON | OFF}] [-tagall {ON | OFF}] [-ifAlias string]
[-throughput positive_integer] [-bandwidthHigh positive_integer
[-bandwidthNormal positive_integer]]
Using the example configuration:
>set channel LA/1 -tagall ON -throughput 0 -bandwidthHigh 0 -bandwidthNormal 0
Done
The set lacp command configures the LACP system priority for the trunk, using integers
from 1 to 65335. It has the following syntax:
set lacp -sysPriority positive_integer
Using the example configuration:
>set lacp -sysPriority 32768
Done
Configuring VLANs
The example deployment in this chapter uses eight VLANs in total: four ingress and four
egress.
Use the add vlan command to add the VLANs, and the bind vlan command to bind a
VLAN to an interface. These commands have the following syntax:
To add a VLAN ID:
add vlan id [-aliasName string]
To bind a VLAN to an interface:
bind vlan id [-ifnum interface_name ... [-tagged]]
