LACP configuration procedures
NOTE
To see the minimum configuration required to enable FCoE on the Brocade 8000 CEE switch, refer
to “FCoE minimum configuration” on page 130.
NOTE
You need to enter either the copy running-config startup-config command or the write memory
command to save your configuration changes to Flash memory so that they are not lost if there is a
system reload or power outage.

Enabling LACP on a CEE interface
To enable LACP on a CEE interface, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode:
Step Task Command
1. Enter global configuration mode. switch#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per
line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)#
2. Specify the CEE interface (interface 0/1 is
used in this example).
switch(config)#interface
tengigabitethernet 0/1
switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#
3. Enable the CEE interface. switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#no shutdown
switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#
4. Specify the LAG group number for the CEE
interface.
switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#channel-group 1-63
5. Specify one of the following LACP modes for
the CEE interface:
• active—Enable LACP on the interface.
• on—Specifying this mode enables
static link aggregation on the interface
(LACP is not enabled).
• passive—Enable LACP passive mode
on the interface.
switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#channel-group 1-63
mode {active | on | passive}
To add additional interfaces to an existing LAG, perform the above steps on the interface making sure that
you use the same LAG group number for the new interfaces.
To delete an interface from a LAG, enter the no channel-group command on the interface.
