Dynamic link aggregation
11
FIGURE 80 Multi-slot aggregate link
By default, the device ports are divided into 4-port groups. The software dynamically assigns a
unique key to each 4-port group. If you need to divide a 4-port group into two 2-port groups, change
the key in one of the groups so that the two 2-port groups have different keys. For example, if you
plan to use ports 1 and 2 in VLAN 1, and ports 3 and 4 in VLAN 2, change the key for ports 3 and 4.
NOTE
If you change the key for a port group, recommends that you use the value 10000 or higher, to avoid
potential conflicts with dynamically created keys.
Viewing keys for tagged ports
To display link aggregation information, including the key for a specific port, enter a command such
as the following at any level of the CLI.
PowerConnect# show link-aggregation ethernet 1
System ID: 00e0.52a9.bb00
Port [Sys P] [Port P] [ Key ] [Act][Tio][Agg][Syn][Col][Dis][Def][Exp]
1 0 0 0 No L No No No No No No
The command in this example shows the key and other link aggregation information for port 1.
To display link aggregation information, including the key for all ports on which link aggregation is
enabled, enter the following command at any level of the CLI.
PowerConnect# show link-aggregation
System ID: 0004.8055.b200
