To create a LAG
Before you begin
This procedure applies to various variants of the 7210 SAS, 7250 IXR, 7450 ESS, 7705 SAR, 7750 SR, and 7950 XRS. See To configure OmniSwitch dynamic LAG members for information about configuring a LAG on an OmniSwitch. See the NSP NFM-P Microwave Radio User Guide for information about configuring a LAG on a Wavence NE.
Steps
1 |
On the equipment navigation tree, expand NE→Logical Groups. |
2 |
Right-click on LAGs and choose Create LAG. The Create LAG wizard opens. |
Configure general properties | |
3 |
Configure the required parameters. If you are creating a LAG for HSMDA, the Port Type parameter must be set to HSMDA. The Encapsulation Type must be either Dot1Q or QinQ. Setting Mode to network creates a network LAG, and setting it to access creates an access LAG. If you are creating a LAG containing ports on an XMDA card on a 7705 SAR-18, the Encapsulation Type parameter must be either Dot1 Q or Null and the Mode must be set to Access. The Weighted parameter is configurable only if the Per-Link Hashing parameter is enabled. The Auto Rebalance parameter is only configurable only if the Weighted parameter is enabled. Consider the following when you configure the Enable DEI parameter on a hybrid LAG.

If you are configuring Ethernet ports for MWA 1+0 on a 7705 SAR-8 or 7705 SAR-18: You can configure up to four MW links per LAG group, with a mix of MW and non-MW links with the same port speed settings. The LAG interface must be configured on the LAG group ID, not on the MW link. 1+1 is not supported, the redundancy is for L2 LAG only. |
5 |
If you are configuring a LAG on a 7210 SAS NE that supports split horizon groups, you can select an SHG in the Split Horizon Group panel. See To create a 7210 SAS SHG for information about creating a 7210 SAS SHG. Note: A LAG cannot be added to or deleted from an SHG if it has a SAP configured on it. A LAG cannot belong to more than one SHG; you must remove all SHGs from the LAG before you can add the LAG to a different SHG. |
Configure LAG parameters | |
6 |
Click Next. The Configure LAG Parameters step displays. |
7 |
Configure the required parameters. You must set the Port Threshold parameter to 0 when the Standby Signalling parameter is set to Power Off in Step 12 . |
8 |
Perform one of the following:
|
Configure access parameters | |
9 |
Click Next. The Configure Access Parameters step displays. |
10 |
Configure the required parameters. If you are creating a LAG for HSMDA, the QoS Adaptation parameter must be set to Link, otherwise the LAG will not be created. |
Configure LACP parameters | |
11 |
Click Next. The Configure LACP form opens. |
12 |
Configure the required parameters. The LACP Mode, LACP Transmit Interval, Actor Administration Key, LACP System ID, and LACP System Priority parameters are configurable when the LACP Enabled parameter is enabled. When the Standby Signalling parameter is set to Power Off, you must set the Active Sub-Group Selection Criteria parameter to Best Port. |
Configure LAG members | |
13 |
Click Next. The Configure LAG Members step displays. |
14 |
Click Create. The Only Show Compatible Ports wizard opens. |
15 |
Configure the Show Only Compatible Ports and Class parameters. |
16 |
Click Next. The Select Ports step displays. |
17 |
