72 CHAPTER 3: PORT OPERATION
Creating/Deleting an Aggregation Group
Use the following command to create a manual aggregation group or static LACP
aggregation group, but the dynamic LACP aggregation group is established by the
system when LACP is enabled on the ports. You can also delete an existing
aggregation group: when you delete a manual aggregation group, all its member
ports are disaggregated; when you delete a static or dynamic LACP aggregation
group, its member ports form one or several dynamic LACP aggregation groups.
Perform the following configuration in System View.
The Switch selects the port with the minimum port number as the master port of the
aggregation group. This rule applies to all aggregation groups.
A manual or static aggregation group can have up to eight ports. To change an
existing dynamic aggregation group into a manual or static group enter:
link-aggregation group agg-id mode
If the port number in a group exceeds eight, you will be prompted that a
configuration failure has occurred.
If the aggregation group you create already exists but contains no member port, you
can overwrite the existing group; if it already exists in the system and contains
member ports, then you can only change a dynamic or static LACP aggregation group
to a manual one, or a dynamic LACP aggregation group to a static one. In the former
case, LACP shall be disabled at the member ports automatically, while in the latter
case, LACP shall remain enabled.
Adding/Deleting an Ethernet Port into/from an Aggregation Group
You can add/delete ports into/from a manual or static LACP aggregation group, but
member port adding or deleting for a dynamic LACP aggregation group is
implemented by the system.
Perform the following configuration in Ethernet Port View.
Note that:
You cannot enable LACP for a
stack port
mirrored port
port with static MAC address configured
