Configuring Dynamic Link Aggregation Application Examples
OmniSwitch AOS Release 7 Network Configuration Guide June 2013 page 8-27
Application Examples
Dynamic link aggregation groups are treated by the software on the switch as similar to individual
physical ports. This section demonstrates the dynamic link aggregation feature by providing sample
network configurations that use dynamic aggregation along with other software features. In
addition, tutorials are provided that show how to configure these sample networks by using Command
Line Interface (CLI) commands.
Sample Network Overview
The figure below shows two VLANs on Switch A that use two different link aggregation groups. VLAN
10 has been configured on dynamic aggregate group 5 with Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) with the
highest priority (15) possible. And VLAN 12 has been configured on dynamic aggregate group 7 with
802.1Q tagging and 802.1p priority bit settings.
Sample Network Using Dynamic Link Aggregation
The steps to configure VLAN 10 (Spanning Tree example) are described in “Link Aggregation and Span-
ning Tree Example” on page 8-28. The steps to configure VLAN 12 (802.1Q and 802.1p example) are
described in “Link Aggregation and QoS Example” on page 8-29.
Note. Although you need to configure both the local ( Switch A) and remote ( Switches B and C)
switches, only the steps to configure the local switch are provided since the steps to configure the remote
switches are similar.
