Configuring Dynamic Link Aggregation Configuring Dynamic Link Aggregate Groups

Configuring Mandatory Dynamic Link Aggregate Parameters
When configuring LACP link aggregates on a switch you must perform the following steps:
1 Create the Dynamic Aggregate Groups on the Local (Actor) and Remote (Partner) Switches. To
create a dynamic aggregate group use the linkagg lacp agg size command, which is described in “Creat-
ing and Deleting a Dynamic Aggregate Group” on page 8-9.
2 Configure the Same Administrative Key on the Ports You Want to Join the Dynamic Aggregate
Group. To configure ports with the same administrative key (which allows them to be aggregated), use
the linkagg lacp agg actor admin-key command, which is described in “Configuring Ports to Join and
Removing Ports in a Dynamic Aggregate Group” on page 8-10.
Note. Depending on the needs of your network you need to configure additional parameters. Commands
to configure optional dynamic link aggregate parameters are described in “Modifying Dynamic Link
Aggregate Group Parameters” on page 8-12.These commands must be executed after you create a
dynamic aggregate group.
Creating and Deleting a Dynamic Aggregate Group
The following subsections describe how to create and delete dynamic aggregate groups with the linkagg
lacp agg size command.
Creating a Dynamic Aggregate Group
To configure a dynamic aggregate group, enter linkagg lacp agg followed by the user-configured
dynamic aggregate number, size, and the maximum number of links that belong to this dynamic aggregate
group, which can be 2, 4, or 8. For example, to configure the dynamic aggregate group 2 consisting of
eight links enter:
-> linkagg lacp agg 2 size 8
You can create up to 32 link aggregation (both static and dynamic) groups for a standalone switch and up
to 128 groups for a chassis-based switch. In addition, you can also specify optional parameters shown in
the table below. These parameters must be entered after size and the user-specified number of links.
For example, Alcatel-Lucent recommends assigning the actor admin key when you create the dynamic
aggregate group to help ensure that ports are assigned to the correct group. To create a dynamic aggregate
group with aggregate number 3 consisting of two ports with an admin actor key of 10, for example, enter:
-> linkagg lacp agg 3 size 2 actor admin-key 10
Note. The optional keywords for this command can be entered in any order as long as they are entered
after size and the user-specified number of links.
