Cause
The

code:

lacp static lag

command set, used for creating and removing Static Link Aggregation Groups, auto-generates a series of commands which then appear in the device configuration if they override factory defaults.

This document specifies the subcommands used for each product and operation.

How to create a Static LAG (example): Matrix N3(rw)->set lacp static lag.0.2 key 2000 ge.1.1-2

Issuing :
clear port lacp port ge.1.1-2 aadminstate all
clear port lacp port ge.1.1-2 padminstate all
clear port lacp port ge.1.1-2 aadminstate lacpactive
set lacp aadminkey lag.0.2 2000
set port lacp port ge.1.1-2 aadminkey 2000
set port lacp port ge.1.1-2 padminkey 2000
clear port lacp port ge.1.1-2 padminsysid
set port lacp port ge.1.1-2 disable

Matrix N3(rw)->

• Lags are numbered lag.0.1 through lag.0.48.
• Keys are numbered 0 through 65535.
• Key specification is optional. If unspecified, a key will be assigned based on the referenced lag port. That is, keys 1-48 will be used, respectively, for lag.0.1 through lag.0.48.
• The key value must be unique, on the local/actor device. If ports other than the desired underlying physical ports share the same admin key value, aggregation will fail or undesired aggregations will form.

How to remove a Static LAG (example): Matrix N3(rw)->clear lacp static lag.0.2 ge.1.1-2

Issuing :
set port lacp port ge.1.1-2 disable
clear port lacp port ge.1.1-2 padminkey
clear port lacp port ge.1.1-2 aadminkey
clear port lacp port ge.1.1-2 aadminstate all
clear port lacp port ge.1.1-2 padminstate all
set port lacp port ge.1.1-2 enable

Matrix N3(rw)->clear lacp aadminkey lag.0.2
Matrix N3(rw)->The last command is necessary due to a bug in the '

code:

clear lacp static

' command, which does not fully reverse the commands issued by the '

code:

set lacp static

' command.

Matrix C1

How to create a Static LAG (example): Matrix C1(rw)->set lacp static lag.1.2 key 1000 ge.1.8-9

Issuing :
clear port lacp port ge.1.8-9 aadminstate all
clear port lacp port ge.1.8-9 padminstate all
clear port lacp port ge.1.8-9 aadminstate lacpactive
set port lacp port ge.1.8-9 padminstate lacpagg
set lacp aadminkey lag.1.2 1000
set port lacp port ge.1.8-9 aadminkey 1000
set port lacp port ge.1.8-9 padminkey 1000
clear port lacp port ge.1.8-9 padminsysid
Matrix C1(rw)->

• Lags are numbered lag.1.1 and lag.1.2.
• Keys are numbered 0 through 65535.
• The key value must be unique, on the local/actor device. If ports other than the desired underlying physical ports share the same admin key value, aggregation will fail or undesired aggregations will form.
• At least two ports need to be assigned to a LAG port for a Link Aggregation Group to form and attach to the specified LAG port.

How to remove a Static LAG (example): Matrix C1(rw)->clear lacp static lag.1.2 ge.1.8-9

Issuing :
set port lacp port ge.1.8-9 disable
clear port lacp port ge.1.8-9 padminkey
clear port lacp port ge.1.8-9 aadminkey
clear port lacp port ge.1.8-9 aadminstate all
clear port lacp port ge.1.8-9 padminstate all
set port lacp port ge.1.8-9 enable
clear lacp aadminkey lag.1.2

Matrix C2

How to create a Static LAG (example): Matrix C2(rw)->set lacp aadminkey lag.0.5 422
Matrix C2(rw)->set port lacp port ge.1.8-9 aadminkey 422
Matrix C2(rw)->Note1: Though the '

code:

set lacp static

' command exists, it tends to lock up the cli (firmware 2.01.24, at least) and should not be used.
Note2: Because

code:

lag.0.5

's aadminkey has a default value of

code:

422

(recommended for use), the '

code:

set lacp

' command shown above is only necessary if a differing aadminkey value had been selected. It will only appear in the output of a '

code:

show configuration

' command if it differs from the default value.

Lags are numbered lag.0.1 to lag.0.6.
• Keys are numbered 0 through 65535.
• The default Key values for lag.0.1 through lag.0.6 are 418-423, respectively.
• The key value must be unique, on the local/actor device. If ports other than the desired underlying physical ports share the same admin key value, aggregation will fail or undesired aggregations will form.
• At least two ports need to be assigned to a LAG port for a Link Aggregation Group to form and attach to the specified LAG port.

Note2: Because

code:

lag.0.5

's aadminkey already has a value of

, the '

set lacp

' command shown above will not be necessary.
