NETGEAR 8800 User Manual configure sharing lacp system-priority This step is optional; LACP handles prioritization using system MAC addresses. 3. Add or delete ports to the LAG as desired, using the following command: configure sharing add ports 4. If you want to override the ports selection for joining the LAG by configuring a priority for a port within a LAG, issue the following command: configure lacp member-port priority 5. If you want to change the expiry timer, use the following command: configure sharing lacp timeout [long | short] The default value for the timeout is long, or 90 seconds. 6. If you want to change the activity mode, use the following command: configure sharing lacp activity-mode [active | passive] The default value for the activity mode is active. 7. If you want to configure the action the switch takes for defaulted LAG ports, use the following command: configure sharing lacp defaulted-state-action [add | delete] The default value for defaulted LAG ports is delete the default ports. Note: Always verify the LACP configuration by issuing the show ports sharing command; look for the ports listed as being in the aggregator. Configuring Health Check Link Aggregation To configure Health Check link aggregation you must first create a LAG. One port in the LAG serves as the logical port for the LAG and is the reference port used in configuration commands. When you create the LAG, no monitoring is initially configured. The LAG is created in the same way that a static LAG is created and if no monitoring is ever created, this LAG behaves like a static LAG. 1. Create a LAG using the following command: enable sharing grouping {algorithm [port-based | address-based {L2 | L3 | L3_L4 | custom}]} {lacp | health-check} The port you assign using the parameter becomes the logical port for the link aggregation group and the LAG Group ID when using Health Check link aggregation. This logical port must also be included in the port list of the grouping itself. 2. Configure monitoring for each member port using the following command: 134 | Chapter 5.
