ZTP+ with sharing as Uplink (EXOS)

Dear all
We are trying to set up ZTP+ for out EXOS Switches. Now we are struggeling with the out uplinks, which should be configured as lacp sharing. How can we configure during the ZTP+ process the uplink and the downlink ports of the upstream switch as a sharing?

thanks in advance

Hi Michal, you can play with custom configurations in the action tab of the site that call a workflows for run the necessary commands during ZTP+ for your exos switches. There are example of workflow in the github repository of Extreme Networks that you can use as starting point for your custom workflow.

Hi Michael,

Keep in mind that if you enable LACP on sharing and use this LAG as uplink for a new switch without any initial LACP sharing configuration then those ports won't get active state. Best option IMO is to setup static sharing, do ZTP+ and enable LACP on both side after ZTP+ provisioning using some workflow.

In addition, if you connect EXOS to Fabric Connect SMLT ports then Fabric Attach on EXOS will automatically configure static sharing and provision management VLAN

Thanks

I know, the easier way would be with fabric connect. But we have a lot of small locations without fabric. this automatic sharing configuration for classic EXOS to EXOS would be nice 😉 I gonna try to the it up an running with a custom workflow
