MES53xx, MES33xx, MES23xx Ethernet Switch Series 74
between the communicating devices and adds resiliency. The switch interprets the port group as a single
logical port.
Two port group operation modes are supported: static group and LACP group. For description of
LACP group, see the corresponding configuration section.
To add an interface into a group, you have to restore the default interface settings if they
were modified.
You can add interfaces into a link aggregation group in the Ethernet interface configuration mode
only.
Command line prompt in the Ethernet interface configuration mode is as follows:
console(config-if)#
Table 5.42. Ethernet interface configuration mode commands
channel-group group mode
mode
group: (1..16);
mode: (on, auto)
Add an Ethernet interface to a port group:
- on - add a port to a channel without LACP;
- auto - add a port to a channel with LACP in active mode.
Remove an Ethernet interface from a port group.
Global configuration mode commands
Command line prompt in the global configuration mode is as follows:
console# configure
console(config)#
Table 5.43. Global configuration mode commands
port-channel load-balance
{src-dst-mac-ip |
Specify load balance mechanism for an aggregated port group.
- src-dst-mac-ip - a load balance mechanism based on MAC
address and IP address;
- src-dst-mac - a load balance mechanism based on MAC
address.
Command line prompt in the EXEC mode is as follows:

show interfaces
portchannel [group]
Show information about a channel group.
5.12.1 Static link aggregation groups
Static LAG groups are used to aggregate multiple physical links into a single link, which increases link
bandwidth and adds resiliency. For static groups, the priority of links in an aggregated linkset is not
specified.
