Application Example Configuring Static Link Aggregation
page 7-10 OmniSwitch AOS Release 7 Network Configuration Guide June 2013
Application Example
Static link aggregation groups are treated by the switch software the same way it treats individual
physical ports. This section demonstrates this by providing a sample network configuration that uses static
link aggregation along with other software features. In addition, a tutorial is provided that shows how to
configure this sample network using Command Line Interface (CLI) commands.
The figure below shows VLAN 8, which has been configured on static aggregate 1 and uses 802.1Q
tagging. The actual physical links connect ports 4/1, 4/2, 4/3, and 4/4 on Switch A to port 2/41, 2/42, 2/43,
and 2/44 on Switch B.
Sample Network Using Static Link Aggregation
Follow the steps below to configure this network:
Note. Only the steps to configure the local (i.e., Switch A) switch are provided here since the steps to
configure the remote (i.e., Switch B) switch are similar.
1 Configure static aggregate group 1 by entering linkagg static agg 1 size 4 as shown below:
-> linkagg static agg 1 size 4
2 Assign ports 4/1, 4/2, 4/3, and 4/4 to static aggregate group 1 by entering:
-> linkagg static port 4/1-4 agg 1
3 Create VLAN 8 by entering:
-> vlan 8
4 Configure 802.1Q tagging with a tagging ID of 8 on static aggregate group 1 (on VLAN 8) by
entering:
-> vlan 8 members linkagg 1 tagged
5 Repeat steps 1 through 4 on Switch B. Substitute the port numbers of the commands with the
appropriate port numbers of Switch B.
Static Aggregate Group 1
VLAN 8 with 802.1Q tagging has
been configured to use this group.
