Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections: 

create link_aggregation 

Used to create a link aggregation group on the Switch. 

Purpose

create link_aggregation group_id {type[lacp | static]} 

Syntax

This command is used to create a link aggregation group with a unique 

identifier. 

Description

Parameters

 Specifies the group ID. The Switch allows up to 14 link 

aggregation groups to be configured. The group number identifies each 

of the groups. 

type – Specify the type of link aggregation used for the group. If the type 

is not specified the default type is static.  

lacp – This designates the port group as LACP compliant. LACP allows 

dynamic adjustment to the aggregated port group. LACP compliant ports 

may be further configured (see config lacp_ports). LACP compliant must 

be connected to LACP compliant devices. 

static – This designates the aggregated port group as static. Static port 

groups can not be changed as easily as LACP compliant port groups 

since both linked devices must be manually configured if the 

configuration of the trunk group is changed. If static link aggregation is 

used, be sure that both ends of the connection are properly configured 

and that all ports have the same speed/duplex settings. 

Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.
