• HP does not recommend that you add a mirroring reflector to an aggregation group. For more
information about reflectors, see "Configuring port mirroring."
• Removing a Layer 2 aggregate interface also removes the corresponding aggregation group.
Meanwhile, the member ports of the aggregation group, if any, leave the aggregation group.
• When a load-sharing aggregation group becomes a non-load-sharing aggregation group because
of insufficient load sharing resources, one of the following problems may have occurred: The
number of Selected ports of the actor is inconsistent with that of the partner, which may result in
incorrect traffic forwarding; the peer port of a Selected port is an Unselected port, which may result
anomalies in upper-layer protocol and traffic forwarding. Consider the situation fully when making
configuration.
Recommended link aggregation and LACP
configuration procedures
Recommended static aggregation group configuration procedure
Ste
1. Creating a link aggregation group.
Required.
Create a static aggregate interface and configure member
ports for the static aggregation group automatically created by
the system when you create the aggregate interface.
By default, no link aggregation group exists.
2. Displaying information about an
aggregate interface.
Optional.
Perform this task to view detailed information of an existing
aggregation group.
Recommended dynamic aggregation group configuration procedure
Ste
1. Creating a link aggregation
group.
Required.
Create a dynamic aggregate interface and configure member ports for
the dynamic aggregation group automatically created by the system
when you create the aggregate interface. LACP is enabled
automatically on all the member ports.
By default, no link aggregation group exists.
2. Displaying information about an
aggregate interface.
Optional.
Perform this task to view detailed information of an existing
aggregation group.
3. Setting LACP priority.
Optional.
Perform the task to set LACP priority for the local system and link
aggregation member ports.
Changes of LACP priorities affect the Selected/Unselected state of link
aggregation member ports.
The default port LACP priority and system LACP priority are both
32768.
