11 Configuring downlink LAG
This chapter describes how to configure the Link Aggregation for downlink ports in the
PRIMERGY BX900 Ethernet Connection Blade system. Only the downlink ports are allowed to
be the member of the LAG in this firmware version. It is provided to combine server blade NICs
connected to same Ethernet Connection Blade.
11.1 Configuring Link Aggregation with LACP
This section describes how to configure link aggregation with LACP with 4 links.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure link aggregation with
LACP:
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 port-channel name To create a port-channel.
Step 3 interface interface-id Specify the port-channel interface (logical
interface), and enter interface
configuration mode.
Step 4 no staticcapability To disable the static mode of the
port-channel.
Step 5 exit Return to global configuration mode.
Step 6 interface interface-id Specify the downlink interface, and enter
interface configuration mode.
Step 7 channel-group interface-id To join the specified port-channel group.
Step 8 exit Return to global configuration mode.
Step 9 exit Return to privileged EXEC mode
Step 10 show port-channel all Verify the configuration.
To create a port-channel group, use port-channel global configuration command. To
assign an interface to a port-channel group, use channel-group interface configuration
command. To display port-channel group, use show port-channel all privileged EXEC
command.
In this example, a port-channel group downlink-lag1 is created and downlink interfaces
0/1, 0/2, 0/3 and 0/4 are set to the member of this port-channel group.
(BX900-CB1)#configure
(BX900-CB1)(Config)#port-channel downlink-lag1
Interface BX900-CB1/1/3 created for port-channel downlink-lag1
(BX900-CB1)(Config)#interface range 0/1 – 0/4
(BX900-CB1)(if-range)#channel-group BX900-CB1/1/3
