algorithm
[mac_source | mac_destination | mac_source_dest | ip_source
| ip_destination | ip_source_dest]
show link_aggregation {group_id <value 1-6> | algorithm}
config lacp_port <portlist> mode [active | passive]
show lacp_port {<portlist>}
Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections.
create link_aggregation
Purpose Used to create a link aggregation group on the Switch.
Syntax
create link_aggregation group_id <value 1-6> {type[lacp | static]}
Description This command will create a link aggregation group with a unique
identifier.
Parameters
<value> − Specifies the group ID. The Switch allows up to 6 link
aggregation groups to be configured. The group number identifies
each of the groups.
type – Specify the type of link aggregation used for the group. If the
type is not specified the default type is static.

lacp – This designates the port group as LACP compliant.
LACP allows dynamic adjustment to the aggregated port
group. LACP compliant ports may be further configured
(see config lacp_ports). LACP compliant must be connected
to LACP compliant devices.
static – This designates the aggregated port group as static.
Static port groups can not be changed as easily as LACP
compliant port groups since both linked devices must be
manually configured if the configuration of the trunked
group is changed. If static link aggregation is used, be sure
that both ends of the connection are properly configured
and that all ports have the same speed/duplex settings.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
