DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
3. Enter the no shutdown command to enable the CEE interface.
4. Enter the channel-group command to configure the LACP for the CEE interface.
Example
switch(conf-if)#channel-group 4 mode active type brocade
Configuring the LACP system priority
You configure an LACP system priority on each switch running LACP. LACP uses the system priority
with the switch MAC address to form the system ID and also during negotiation with other switches.
The system priority value must be a number in the range of 1 through 65535. The higher the
number, the lower the priority. The default priority is 32768.
To configure the global LACP system priority, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC
mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Specify the LACP system priority.
Example
switch(config)#lacp system-priority 25000
Configuring the LACP timeout period on a CEE interface
The LACP timeout period indicates how long LACP waits before timing out the neighboring device.
The short timeout period is 3 seconds and the long timeout period is 90 seconds. The default is
long.
To configure the LACP timeout period on a CEE interface, perform the following steps from
Privileged EXEC mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Enter the interface command to specify the CEE interface type and slot/port number.
Example of selecting the Ten Gigabit Ethernet port number 0/1.
switch(config)#interface tengigabitethernet 0/1
3. Enter the no shutdown command to enable the CEE interface.
4. Specify the LACP timeout period for the CEE interface.
Example
switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#lacp timeout short
Clearing LACP counter statistics on a LAG
To clear LACP counter statistics, perform the following task from Privileged EXEC mode.
1. Enter the clear command to clear the LACP counter statistics for the specified LAG group
number.
Example of clearing counter statistics on LAG group 42
switch#clear lacp 42 counters
