06-Ethernet Link Aggregation Configuration Examples

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 configuration

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

 

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.

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.

 

 

NOTE:

QinQ is not available on the following switches:

·     S5110V2-SI switch series.

·     S5000V3-EI switch series.

·     S5000E-X switch series.

·     WAS6000 switch series.

 

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.

·     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, use 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.

# Create VLAN 10, and assign port GigabitEthernet 1/0/4 to VLAN 10.

Example: Configuring Layer 2 link aggregation load sharing

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 2, 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.

·     The packets from VLAN 10 are load shared across the Selected ports of link aggregation group 1 by source MAC addresses. The packets from VLAN 20 are load shared across the Selected ports of link aggregation group 2 by destination MAC addresses.

Figure 2 Network diagram

 

Analysis

To meet the network requirements, you must perform the following tasks:

·     To configure different load sharing modes for packets in different link aggregation groups, configure link aggregation load sharing modes in Layer 2 aggregate interface view.

·     To enable packets from VLAN 10 to pass through aggregate interface Bridge-aggregation 1, assign the aggregate interface to VLAN 10. To enable packets from VLAN 20 to pass through aggregate interface Bridge-aggregation 2, assign the aggregate interface to VLAN 20.

Restrictions and guidelines

When you configure Layer 2 link aggregation in an IRF fabric, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·     IRF physical ports must be set to the bridge mode.

·     When you bind physical ports to an IRF port, you must set all the physical ports to operate in either normal or enhanced mode.

·     The physical ports of two connected IRF ports must operate in the same mode: normal or enhanced. For more information about the binding mode of the IRF physical ports, see IRF Configuration Guide.

·     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.

 

 

NOTE:

QinQ is not available on the following switches:

·     S5110V2-SI switch series.

·     S5000V3-EI switch series.

·     S5000E-X switch series.

·     WAS6000 switch series.

 

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.

·     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, use 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.

Procedures

1.     Configure IRF on Device A:

# Shut down GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

<DeviceA> system-view

[DeviceA] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[DeviceA-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] shutdown

[DeviceA-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit

# Bind GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to IRF port 1/1.

[DeviceA] irf-port 1/1

[DeviceA-irf-port1/1] port group interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

You must perform the following tasks for a successful IRF setup:

Save the configuration after completing IRF configuration.

Execute the "irf-port-configuration active" command to activate the IRF ports.

[DeviceA-irf-port1/1] quit

# Bring up GigabitEthernet 1/0/1, and save the configuration.

[DeviceA] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[DeviceA-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] undo shutdown

[DeviceA-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit

[DeviceA] save

# Activate the IRF port configuration.

[DeviceA] irf-port-configuration active

2.     Configure IRF on Device B:

# Change the member ID of Device B to 2, and reboot the device to validate the change.

<DeviceB> system-view

[DeviceB] irf member 1 renumber 2

Renumbering the member ID may result in configuration change or loss. Continue? [Y/N]:y

[DeviceB] quit

<DeviceB> reboot

# Shut down GigabitEthernet 2/0/1.

<DeviceB> system-view

[DeviceB] interface gigabitethernet 2/0/1

[DeviceB-GigabitEthernet2/0/1] shutdown

[DeviceB-GigabitEthernet2/0/1] quit

# Bind GigabitEthernet 2/0/1 to IRF port 2/2.

[DeviceB] irf-port 2/2

[DeviceB-irf-port2/2] port group interface gigabitethernet 2/0/1

You must perform the following tasks for a successful IRF setup:

Save the configuration after completing IRF configuration.

Execute the "irf-port-configuration active" command to activate the IRF ports.

[DeviceB-irf-port2/2] quit

# Bring up GigabitEthernet 2/0/1, and save the configuration.

[DeviceB] interface gigabitethernet 2/0/1

[DeviceB-GigabitEthernet2/0/1] undo shutdown

[DeviceB-GigabitEthernet2/0/1] quit

[DeviceB] save

# Activate the IRF port configuration.

[DeviceB] irf-port-configuration active

Device A and Device B perform master election, and the one that has lost the election reboots to form an IRF fabric with the master. In this example, Device B reboots.

# Use the display irf command to verify that Device A has become the Master device.

Restrictions and guidelines

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, use dynamic aggregation.

Procedures

1.     Configure Device A:

# Create Layer 3 aggregate interface Route-Aggregation 1. Use one of the following methods as needed.

¡     Use the static aggregation mode to create Layer 3 aggregate interface Route-Aggregation 1.
