Configuring a Layer 3 dynamic aggregation group

Prerequisites

You must be in the global configuration context: switch(config)#

Procedure
  1. Create a Layer 3 aggregate interface and access the Layer 3 aggregate interface view by entering:
    switch(config)# interface lag <ID>

    The range of the LAG interface ID is 1 to 256.

    While creating the Layer 3 aggregate interface, the system automatically creates a Layer 3 dynamic aggregation group numbered the same.

  2. Set the operational state of every interface in the LAG to up by entering:
    switch(config-lag-if)# no shutdown
    NOTE:
    This command does not impact the administrative state of the member interfaces because the command was entered at the level of the LAG. To change the administrative state of a member interface, enter the command at the interface level. For example:
    switch(config)# interface 1/1/2
    switch(config-if)# no shutdown
  3. Configure the aggregation group to operate in dynamic mode by entering:
    switch(config-lag-if)# lacp mode {active | passive}

    For example:

    switch(config-lag-if)# lacp mode active
  4. Set the IP address on the LAG interface by entering:
    switch(config-lag-if)# ip address <IPV4-ADDR>/<MASK>

    For example:

    switch(config-lag-if)# ip address 192.0.2.1/30
  5. Use the following steps to add a maximum of eight interfaces to the LAG:
    1. Assign an interface to the LAG:
      switch(config-lag-if)# interface <PORT-ID>

      For example:

      switch(config-lag-if)# interface 1/1/1

      See the Command-Line Interface Guide for your switch and software version for more information about the interface <PORT-ID> command.

    2. Assign an ID to the LAG:
      switch(config-if)# lag <ID>

      For example:

      switch(config-if)# lag 100
    3. Set the administrative state of the member interface to up:
      switch(config-if)# no shutdown

Adding two interfaces to a Layer 3 dynamic LAG

switch(config)# interface lag 100
switch(config-lag-if)# no shutdown
switch(config-lag-if)# lacp mode active
switch(config-lag-if)# ip address 192.0.2.1/30
switch(config-lag-if)# interface 1/1/1
switch(config-if)# lag 100
switch(config-if)# no shutdown
switch(config-if)# interface 1/1/2
switch(config-if)# lag 100
switch(config-if)# no shutdown
switch(config-if)# show running-config
...
!
