Create port sharing on 1 VSP switch using 2 ports

[Asifi]

Hello Community,

I have a pair of 8404 VSP switches and wish to create a LAG (port channel) using 2 ports on the same switch and NOT across 2 switches.  The ports are live and active and are plugged into the end device.

What is the best way to do this and does anyone have any examples of commands to use.  

Both ports currently have the correct VLAN assigned, it's a case of joining the ports for redundancy.

Thanks All.

Correct. SMLT is designed for this.

@jody998  - Many thanks for this.  I will get the commands together and go through this and update this thread.  I will be using SSH to the switches.  The ports will be static so I am assuming a static LAG will suffice for this.

Lastly, there are some csharp and sql references.  I am of the opinion these commands will run in SSH and there is no need to use csharp or sql?

Thanks,

Great - thanks for this, this has worked fine for me.  A slight curveball on this, if I now want to use 2 core switch ports on 2 DIFFERENT switches what would be the process for this.  I am thinking create an SMLT as split and patch the ports in?

Thanks,
