[Enterprise Switch] How to configure Link Aggregation on Edgecore switch? Follow
Edgecore enterprise switches' ports can be statically grouped into an aggregate link (i.e., trunk) to increase the bandwidth of a network connection or to ensure fault recovery. Or you can use the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to automatically negotiate a trunk link between this switch and another network device.
Support Models: ECS4620 series, ECS4510 series, ECS4120 series, ECS4100 series, ECS5520 series, ECS4530 series, ECS2100 series, ECS2110 series, ECS3510 series
How to create Link Aggregation/Port-Channel on the switch ?
We have two methods to group the ports into an aggregate link, please refer to the following comparison table.
Link Aggregation/Port-Channel | |
Dynamic Mode | Manual Mode |
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) | Static Trunk |
LACP will automatically be assigned the next available port-channel ID. | Users have to create port-channel ID manually first. |
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/x Console(config-if)#lacp |
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/x Console(config-if)#channel-group channel-id |
*** Please note that LACP and static trunk can't be used together on the same interface.*** |
Topology:
1. Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
The configuration on the SW1 and SW2:
Console#configure
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/1,2
Console(config-if)#lacp
Console(config-if)#end
The status of Port-channel:
Console#show interfaces status port-channel 1

If you want to assign the LACP trunk link to the specific port-channel number, you need to use the admin-key.
Please refer to the FAQ: How to use admin-key to assign port-channel number ?
2. Static Trunk
The configuration on the SW1 and SW2:
Console#configure
Console(config)#interface port-channel 1
Console(config-if)#exit
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/1,2
Console(config-if)#channel-group 1
Console(config-if)#end
The status of Port-channel:
Console#show interfaces status port-channel 1
