8.13  LACP configuration
LACP is a link aggregation protocol that allows multiple physical links to be combined into a single logical link. 
This process allows to increase the communication link bandwidth and robustness.
8.13.1  Configuration algorithm
Step Description Command Keys
1 Set the system priority for LACP. esr(config)# lacp system-priority 
<PRIORITY>
<PRIORITY> – priority, set in the 
range of [1..65535].
Default value: 1.
2 Set the load balancing mechanism for 
channel aggregation groups.
esr(config)# port-channel load-
balance { src-dst-mac-ip | 
src-dst-mac | src-dst-ip | src-dst-
mac-ip-port }
src-dst-mac-ip – 
balancing mechanism is 
based on source and 
destination MAC 
addresses and IP 
addresses;
src-dst-mac – balancing 
mechanism is based on 
the MAC address of a 
sender and receiver;
src-dst-ip – balancing 
mechanism is based on 
the IP address of a 
sender and receiver;
src - dst - mac - ip - port
– balancing mechanism 
is based on source and 
destination MAC 
address, IP address and 
port.
3 Set LACP administration timeout. esr(config)# lacp timeout {short | 
long }
long – long timeout;
short – short timeout.
Default value: long.
4 Create and switch to the aggregated 
interface configuration mode.
esr(config)# interface port-channel 
<ID>
<ID> – sequence number of a 
channel aggregation group, 
takes values of [1..12].
5 Configure the required parameters of 
aggregated channel.
6 Switch to the physical interface 
configuration mode.
esr(config)# interface <IF-
TYPE><IF-NUM>
<IF-TYPE> interface type 
(gigabitethernet or 
tengigabitethernet).
<IF-NUM> – F/S/P – F frame 
(1), S – slot (0), P – port.
