xStack DES-3800 Series Layer 3 Stackable Fast Ethernet Managed Switch CLI Manual 47 LACP CONFIGURATION COMMANDS The link aggregation commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate parameters) in the following table. Command config lacp_port show lacp_port Parameters mode [active | passive] {} Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections. config lacp_ports Purpose Syntax Description Parameters Restrictions Used to configure settings for LACP compliant ports. config lacp_ports mode [active | passive] This command is used to configure ports that have been previously designated as LACP ports (see create link_aggregation). − Specifies a port or range of ports to be configured. mode - Select the mode to determine if LACP ports will process LACP control frames. • active - Active LACP ports are capable of processing and sending LACP control frames. This allows LACP compliant devices to negotiate the aggregated link so the group may be changed dynamically as needs require. In order to utilize the ability to change an aggregated port group, that is, to add or subtract ports from the group, at least one of the participating devices must designate LACP ports as active. Both devices must support LACP. • passive - LACP ports that are designated as passive cannot process LACP control frames. In order to allow the linked port group to negotiate adjustments and make changes dynamically, at one end of the connection must have "active" LACP ports (see above). Only Administrator or Operator-level users can issue this command. Example usage: To configure LACP port mode settings: DES-3800:admin#config lacp_port 1-12 mode active Command: config lacp_port 1-12 mode active Success. DES-3800:admin# 334
