5/9/2023 0 Comments Software lag switch 1.2There is actually a commandline command that enables single port LAGs. ***CAVEAT*** There is a workaround for this. ***NOTICE*** Here is the point I didn’t realize from the Enterasys line since I was more familiar with the LACP LAG setup on the Extreme switch side and that caused me a lot of headache in troubleshooting why the LACP LAG wasn’t working – Enterasys out of the box must have at least two uplinks for the LACP LAG to come up. Why do you need to setup VLANs on the underlying individual ports as well you may ask? Well, if for some reason the LAG is torn down or doesn’t come up the individual ports will have the appropriate VLANs setup so that traffic will still pass on a single uplink port.Īt this point on the Enterasys side of things, we are done. The first thing you need to do is make sure all the appropriate VLANs are setup on the individual ports as well as the LAG itself. Let’s start on the Extreme side since there is quite a bit more commandline syntax to get things setup. So let’s lay things out on syntax between the two switch variants on how to setup LACP LAGs on each. Create LACP LAG between Extreme and Enterasys switches Let’s take a look at some of those challenges I ran into to create LACP LAG between Extreme and Enterasys switches. Between Enterasys and Extreme, there are vast command line differences in the CLI and I ran into a couple of challenges with the LACP LAG formation between the two. The core switch was an Enterasys chassis switch and the 10G switch being added was an Extreme 圆70 top of rack switch with 48 ports of 10G uplinks – so a nice capacity upgrade. Another ESXi host was being added to scale out a VMware cluster for capacity which meant (2) more 10G ports which exceeded capacity of the core switch. A late breaking project I was involved with recently with a client was adding 10G port count to an environment that had simply outgrown the number of 10G ports that were being used.
