Introduction

This document provides Ethernet link aggregation configuration examples.

Prerequisites

The configuration examples in this document were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

This document assumes that you have basic knowledge of Ethernet link aggregation.

Example: Configuring Layer 2 link aggregation

Network requirements

As shown in Figure 1, both Device A and Device B forward traffic from VLAN 10 and VLAN 20.

Configure link aggregation on Device A and Device B to meet the following requirements:

·     VLAN 10 on Device A can communicate with VLAN 10 on Device B.

·     VLAN 20 on Device A can communicate with VLAN 20 on Device B.

Figure 1 Network diagram

 

Requirements analysis

To enable traffic from VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 to pass through Layer 2 aggregate interface Bridge-aggregation 1, perform the following tasks:

·     Configure Layer 2 aggregate interface Bridge-aggregation 1 as a trunk port.

·     Assign the aggregate interface to VLAN 10 and VLAN 20.

Software version used

This configuration example was created and verified on S7500EXS-CMW710-R7178.

Configuration restrictions and guidelines

When you configure Layer 2 link aggregation, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·     When you assign a port to an aggregation group, the recommended configuration procedure is as follows:

a.     Use the display this command in interface view to check the following attribute configurations of the port:

-     Port isolation.

-     QinQ.

-     VLAN.

-     VLAN mapping.

b.     If any of the above configurations exist, use the undo forms of the corresponding commands to remove these configurations. This enables the port to use the default attribute configurations.

c.     Assign the port to the aggregation group.

·     An aggregation group can operate in static or dynamic mode. You can choose one mode as required.

¡     In a static aggregation group, the aggregation states of the member ports are not affected by the peer ports. Static link aggregation is stable.

¡     In a dynamic aggregation group, the local system and the peer system automatically maintain the aggregation states of the member ports. Dynamic link aggregation reduces the administrators' workload.

·     In a static aggregation group, the Selected state of a port is not affected by whether the peer port is added to an aggregation group and is Selected. As a result, the Selected state of a port might be different from the Selected state of the peer port. When both ends support static aggregation and dynamic aggregation, H3C recommends using dynamic aggregation.

·     You cannot assign a port to a Layer 2 aggregation group when MAC authentication, port security mode, or 802.1X is configured or enabled on the port.
