Switch policies 14 4. Configure the following LAG parameters: NOTE Ports with 802.1x authentication or ports that are L2 or L3 mode-enabled are not supported in a LAG. • Status - Enabled or Disabled. You must enable the LAG to use the DCB functionality. • LAG ID - Enter the LAG identifier, using a value between 1-63. Duplicate LAG IDs are not allowed. • Interface mode - none or L2.  The L3 interface mode option is displayed in the Edit LAG dialog box only. • L2 interface mode - Select the L2 mode (Access or Trunk):  Access mode allows only one VLAN and allows only untagged frames.  Trunk mode allows more than one VLAN association and allows tagged frames.  A converged mode interface can be native (Access, untagged frames) in one VLAN and non-native (Trunk, tagged frames) in another VLAN. • IP/Netmask - The netmask is used to divide an IP address into subnets. It specifies which portion of the IP address represents the network and which portion represents the host, and can only be configured if the interface mode is L3.  Primary - The primary IP address assigned to a 10 Gbps DCB/FC switch module.  Secondary - The secondary IP address is optional. Secondary IP addresses are helpful when the interface port is part of multiple subnets. 5. Select at least one available DCB port from the Available Members table and click the right arrow button to move them to the LAG Members table. The DCB ports are now part of the link aggregation group. 6. Continue to configure the following LAG parameters. These parameters are always enabled. • Mode - Sets all ports added to the LAG members table in either Static or Dynamic mode. The default is Dynamic, Active, but LAG members can be Active or Passive if the LAG member is Dynamic. • Type - Sets the limit on the size of the LAG. The type values include Standard, where the LAG is limited to 16 ports, and Brocade LAG, where the LAG is limited to four ports. The default is Standard. NOTE The 8 Gbps 16-FC-port, 10 GbE 8-Ethernet Port have three anvil chips and each anvil chip supports eight 10 Gbps Ethernet ports. You cannot create Fabric OS-type LAGs from different anvil chips. If you do, an error message displays and only the first port is considered as part of the LAG. 7. When you have finished configuring the policies, click OK. The Deploy to LAGs dialog box displays. 8. Click OK after changing the attributes of the current deployment. The Deployment Status dialog box launches. Brocade Network Advisor SAN User Manual 345 53-1002167-01
