6. Select at least one available CEE port from the Available Members table and click the right
arrow button to move them to the LAG Members table.
The CEE ports are now part of the link aggregation group.
7. Continue to configure the following LAG parameters. These parameters are disabled until you
add a CEE port to the LAG members table.
• Mode - The ports that are LAG members are in either Static or Dynamic mode. You can
change the mode of new port members only; you cannot change the mode on existing
members of a LAG.
If the mode is set as Dynamic, you can change the dynamic mode type (to Active or
Passive) only for newly-added ports, not for existing port members of a LAG.
• Type - The type value options are Standard, where the LAG is limited to 16 ports, and
Brocade, where the LAG is limited to four ports. The default is Standard. The type is set
when you add a LAG; you cannot edit the type using the Edit LAG dialog box.
