Configuring a static aggregation group

To guarantee a successful static aggregation, make sure that the ports at both ends of each link are in the same aggregation state.

Avoid assigning ports to a static aggregation group that has reached the limit on Selected ports. These ports will be placed in the Unselected state to avoid traffic interruption on the current Selected ports. However, a device reboot can cause the aggregation state of member ports to change.

Configuring a Layer 2 static aggregation group

Step

Command

Remarks

1. Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2. Create a Layer 2 aggregate interface and enter Layer 2 aggregate interface view.

interface bridge-aggregation interface-number

When you create a Layer 2 aggregate interface, the system automatically creates a Layer 2 static aggregation group numbered the same.

3. Exit to system view.

quit

N/A

4. Assign an interface to the specified Layer 2 aggregation group.

  • Enter Layer 2 Ethernet interface view:interface interface-type interface-number

  • Assign the interface to the specified Layer 2 aggregation group:port link-aggregation group number

  • Repeat these two sub-steps to assign more Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces to the aggregation group.
