Chapter 12 Port-Channel/LAG (802.3ad) Commands This section describes the Link Aggregation/Port-Channel (802.3ad) commands available in the 7200 Series Managed Switch CLI. Port channels are also known as link aggregation groups (LAGs). Link aggregation allows you to combine multiple full-duplex Ethernet links into a single logical link. Network devices treat the aggregation as if it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance and provides load sharing. The LAG feature initially load shares traffic based upon the source and destination MAC address. The Port-Channel/LAG Command section includes the following topics: • Section 12.1 "Port-Channel Configuration Commands" on page 12-1 • Section 12.2 "Port-Channel Show Commands" on page 12-6 The commands in this section are in one of three functional groups: • Show commands display switch settings, statistics, and other information. • Configuration commands configure features and options of the switch. For every configuration command, there is a show command that displays the configuration setting. • Clear commands clear some or all of the settings to factory defaults. 12.1 Port-Channel Configuration Commands This section describes the commands you use to configure port-channels. Assign the LAG VLAN membership after you create a LAG. If you do not assign VLAN membership, the LAG might become a member of the management VLAN which can result in learning and switching issues.
