Ruckus Wireless Indoor AP 100.2.0 User Guide, 800-70892-001 Rev A 186
Configuring LACP
LACP is configurable via the AP CLI on R710. The set bond command is used with
the following syntax:
set bond <profile> {options}
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
** <profile>: bond0, ...
** options:
- lacp-rate [0,1], 0 for slow, 1 for fast
- xmit-hash [0,1,2], 0 for L(ayer2), 1 for L3+4,
2 for L2+3
- {add|delete} <ethX>
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Profile (
profile) – “bond0” is the only valid profile name.
Options:
•LACP rate (
lacp-rate) defines the rate at which the AP asks its link partner
(usually the switch) to transmit LACP control packets (LACPDUs). A faster rate
allows the link end-points to respond quicker to any changes on the physical
interface (for instance, failover in case of one of the ports is disconnected) at the
expense of more overhead. The slow (default) rate is adequate for the vast
majority of Enterprise WLAN cases.
•Slow (
lacp-rate 0) (default) requests link partner to transmit LACPDUs
every 30 seconds.
•Fast (
lacp-rate 1) requests link partner to transmit LACPDUs every one
second.
• Transmit hash (
xmit-hash) defines how the AP chooses to distribute packets
between the two physical Ethernet links which comprise the bonded link.
Network topology and expected traffic flows should be considered when
choosing which transmit hash option to use so as to spread traffic as evenly as
possible between the two physical links.
• Layer 2 (
xmit-hash 0) (default) uses the source & destination MAC
addresses in the packet to determine which physical link the packet is sent
over. This is a fully-compliant 802.3ad option.
