Configure Link Aggregation Group (LAG)

Link aggregation allows administrators to assign multiple physical links to one logical link that functions as a single, higher-speed link providing dramatically increased bandwidth.

Configuration Commands

Create and configure the LAG interface:

switch(config)# interface port-channel 10
switch(config-if-po-1)# no shutdown

Associate member links with the LAG interface:

Example: switch(config)# interface IFACE

switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
switch(conf-if-eth1/1/1)# channel-group 10

To enable LACP on the LAG:

switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
switch(conf-if-eth1/1/1)#channel-group 10 mode active

Show commands to validate functionality:

switch# show interface port-channel

Expected Results

  1. Administrators can create and configure a LAG
  2. Administrators can add ports to a LAG
  3. Administrators can configure a LAG interface
