X-Series Appliance Switch Configuration for v7.8.4  11

Configuring link aggregation

In link aggregation, both ports are active and share the load. If one port fails, the

remaining port assumes all of the load.

Requirement: The upstream connections must be on the same switch or to switches

in the same stack.

To configure link aggregation on the A1 or A2 switch:

1. Ensure that both Te1/2/1 and Te1/2/2 are enabled.

2. Perform these commands in console mode:

interface Te1/2/1

duplex full

channel-group 1 mode active

switchport access vlan 1

exit

interface Te1/2/2

duplex full

channel-group 1 mode active

switchport access vlan 1

exit

interface port-channel 1

switchport access vlan 1

exit

3. On the upstream switch:

a. Enable the 10 gigabit ports.

b. Configure link aggregation. See your switch documentation.

c. Configure each according to your VLAN allocation:

switchport access vlan <n>

Some older switches require that the VLAN info be configured on both the

physical ports and the link-aggregation port.

Some newer switches require VLAN configuration on link-aggregation port

only.
