Link Aggregation Group Management

In this user interface, you can create or delete Ethernet link aggregation groups, and query or modify information about the Ethernet link aggregation groups.

Navigation Path

In the NE Explorer, select a board and choose Configuration > Ethernet Interface Management > Ethernet Link Aggregation Management from the Function Tree. Click the Link Aggregation Group Management tab.

Note

Ethernet port and VCTRUNK cannot belong to the same link aggregation group (LAG).
A port belongs to only one LAG.
The main port number cannot appear in the branch port number list.
All ports in an LAG must be on the same processing board or interface board.
A branch port can be added to an LAG only when no service is configured for the port. A main port can be added to an LAG even if you configure services for the port, and the services of the port are not affected.
You cannot modify the physical attributes of a main port or a branch port, but you can query them. You can set and query the logical attributes of a main port or a branch port. The settings for only the main port are effective for the LAG.
Link aggregation does not affect RMON or alarms.

Shortcut Menu Items

Item	Description
Link Aggregation Group Details	Query the details of the specified link aggregation group.
Port Details	Query the details of the specified port.
Link LACP Packet Statistics	Query the statistics information about the LACP packets on the link. By querying the statistics information about LACP packets, you can learn the current status of the link aggregation group.

Parameters

Field	Value	Description
LAG Name	A maximum of 31 characters For example: Group1	Displays the LAG name.
LAG Type	Manual, Static	Manual allows you to manually create an LAG with no LACP protocol. The LAG has fixed group members. This mode facilitates management but is less proper or effective in controlling link aggregation. Static allows you to manually create an LAG with the LACP protocol. You can verify the working status (selected or standby) of ports in the LAG. If the value is selected, the port can forward services. If standby, the port cannot forward services. This mode facilitates management and use, and is more proper and effective in controlling link aggregation. NOTE: Currently, only the Manual type is supported for WDM equipment.
Load Sharing	Sharing, Non-Sharing	Displays whether the LAG is sharing the load. NOTE: Currently, only Sharing is supported for WDM equipment.
Main Port	For example: PORT1	The main port in an LAG. Defines a main port in an LAG. The difference between the main port and a normal port is that the main port represents a logical port if several independent physical ports form a logical port after they are aggregated.
Status	Unknown, In Service, Out of Service	Query only. If you do not query an LAG, the port status is Unknown. If the port is the actually working port and services are forwarded at the port, the port status is In Service. If the port is the standby port and no service is forwarded at the port, the port status is Out of Service.
