Network requirements

On the network shown in Figure 17, perform the following tasks:

Configuration procedure

  1. Configure Device A:

    # Create Layer 3 aggregate interface Route-Aggregation 1.

    <DeviceA> system-view
    [DeviceA] interface route-aggregation 1
    

    # Set the link aggregation mode to dynamic.

    [DeviceA-Route-Aggregation1] link-aggregation mode dynamic
    

    # Configure an IP address and subnet mask for Route-Aggregation 1.

    [DeviceA-Route-Aggregation1] ip address 192.168.1.1 24
    [DeviceA-Route-Aggregation1] quit
    

    # Assign Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 through Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 to aggregation group 1.

    [DeviceA] interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/1
    [DeviceA-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port link-aggregation group 1
    [DeviceA-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit
    [DeviceA] interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/2
    [DeviceA-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] port link-aggregation group 1
    [DeviceA-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] quit
    [DeviceA] interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/3
    [DeviceA-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/3] port link-aggregation group 1
    [DeviceA-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/3] quit
    
  2. Configure Device B in the same way Device A is configured. (Details not shown.)

Verifying the configuration

# Display detailed information about all aggregation groups on Device A.
