Link Aggregation (LAG)/Port-Channel (802.3AD) Commands
This section provides a detailed explanation of the LAG commands. The LAG feature initially
load balances traffic based upon the source and destination MAC address. If an ARP entry is
learned on the LAG then the LAG is converted to load balance based upon source/destination IP
address.
The commands are divided into two functional groups:
• Show commands display switch settings, statistics, and other information.
• Configuration commands configure features and options of the switch. For every
configuration command, there is a show command that displays the configuration setting.
Note: Use the clear port-channel command to clear port channels.
Note: After a LAG is created, the user should assign the LAG VLAN membership. If VLAN
membership is not assigned, the LAG may become a member of the management VLAN. This
may result in learning and switching issues.

This command enables the support of port-channels (static link aggregations - LAGs) on the
