Configuration result: 
Add ports 1, 2, 3, 4 of S1 to port-group1  in  order,  and  we  can  see  a  group  in  “on”  mode  is 
completely  joined  forcedly, switch  in other ends  won’t exchange  LACP  PDU to  complete 
aggregation.  Aggregation  finishes  immediately  when  the  command  to  add  port  1/2  to  port-
group 1 is entered, port 1 and port 2 aggregate to be port-channel 1, when port 1/3 joins port-
group 1, port-channel 1 of port 1 and 2 are ungrouped and re-aggregate with port 3 to form 
port-channel 1, when  port 1/4 joins port-group 1, port-channel  1 of port 1,  2 and 3  are 
ungrouped  and  re-aggregate  with  port  4  to  form  port-channel  1.  (It  should  be  noted  that 
whenever a new port joins in an aggregated port group, the group will be ungrouped first and 
re-aggregated to form a new group.) Now all four ports in both S1 and S2 are aggregated in 
“on” mode and become an aggregated port respectively.
