Port-channel1 (Primary aggregator)
Age of the Port-channel = 00d:01h:11m:34s
Logical slot/port = 10/1 Number of ports = 6
HotStandBy port = null
Port state = Port-channel Ag-Inuse
Protocol = LACP
Ports in the Port-channel:
Index Load Port EC state No of bits
------+------+------+------------------+-----------
0 00 Gi1/0/1 Active 0
0 00 Gi1/0/2 Active 0
0 00 Gi1/0/3 Active 0
0 00 Gi1/0/4 Active 0
0 00 Gi1/0/5 Active 0
0 00 Gi1/0/6 Active 0
The output of the command shows the ports Gi1/0/1 through Gi1/0/6 are ‘Active’. This confirms
that there is physical link on all ports in the LAG and that the Cisco switch has communicated with
the PowerConnect 5316M switch to successfully establish an aggregated link on ports 1/0/1 through
1/0/6 with LACP.
Confirming a successful Dynamic Link Aggregation
connection with CISCO CatOS
The following example shows how the Cisco CatOS ‘show interfaces lacp-channel info’ command
can be used to assure that the Cisco switch has established a LAG and that the LAG is connected.
