Configuring link aggregation parameters
You can configure one or more parameters on the same command line, and in any order.
NOTE
For key configuration only, configuration commands differ depending on whether or not link
aggregation is enabled on the ports. Follow the appropriate set of commands below, according to
your system configuration.
Configuring a port group key if link aggregation is disabled
Use this command sequence to change the key for ports that do not have link aggregation enabled,
and for all other link aggregation parameters (i.e., system priority, port priority).
For example, to change the software-assigned key for a port group to another value, enter
commands similar to the following.
PowerConnect(config)#interface ethernet 1 to 4
PowerConnect(config-mif-1-4)#link-aggregate configure key 10000
PowerConnect(config-mif-1-4)#interface ethernet 5 to 8
PowerConnect(config-mif-5-8)#link-aggregate configure key 10000
Configuring keys for ports with link aggregation enabled
As shown in this command sequence, to change the key on ports that already have link aggregation
enabled, you must first turn OFF link aggregation, configure the new key, then re-enable link
aggregation.
PowerConnect(config)# interface ethernet 1 to 4
PowerConnect(config-mif-1-4)# link-aggregate
PowerConnect(config-mif-1-4)# link-aggregate configure key 10000
PowerConnect(config-mif-1-4)# link-aggregate active
PowerConnect(config-mif-1-4)# interface ethernet 5 to 8
PowerConnect(config-mif-5-8)# link-aggregate
PowerConnect(config-mif-5-8)# link-aggregate configure key 10000
PowerConnect(config-mif-5-8)# link-aggregate active
These commands change the key for ports 1 – 4 and 5 – 8 to 10000. Since all ports in an
aggregate link must have the same key, the command in this example enables ports 1 – 4 and 5 –
8 to form a multi-slot aggregate link.
Syntax: [no] link-aggregate configure [system-priority <num>] | [port-priority <num>] | [key
<num>]
The system-priority <num> parameter specifies the device link aggregation priority. A higher value
indicates a lower priority. You can specify a priority from 0 – 65535. The default is 1.
The port-priority <num> parameter specifies an individual port priority within the port group. A
higher value indicates a lower priority. You can specify a priority from 0 – 65535. The default is 1.
