Example for Configuring Link Aggregation in LACP Mode

Networking Requirements

In Figure 3-26, SwitchA and SwitchB connect to devices in VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 through Ethernet links, and heavy traffic is transmitted between SwitchA and SwitchB. The customer hopes that SwitchA and SwitchB can provide increased link bandwidth to enable inter-VLAN communication. Link aggregation in LACP mode can be configured on SwitchA and SwitchB to improve the bandwidth and reliability. The requirements are as follows:

Two active links provide load balancing.
One link functions as the backup link. When a fault occurs on an active link, the backup link replaces the faulty link to maintain reliable data transmission.
Devices in the same VLAN can communicate.

Figure 3-26 Networking diagram for configuring link aggregation in LACP mode

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Create an Eth-Trunk and configure the Eth-Trunk to work in LACP mode to implement link aggregation.
Add member interfaces to the Eth-Trunk.
Set the LACP system priority and determine which device is the Actor. The Partner device selects active interfaces based on the interface priorities of the Actor.
Set the upper threshold for the number of active interfaces to improve reliability.
Set LACP interface priorities and determine active interfaces so that interfaces with higher priorities are selected as active interfaces.
Create VLANs and add interfaces to the VLANs.

Procedure

Create Eth-Trunk 1 on SwitchA and configure Eth-Trunk 1 to work in LACP mode. The configuration for SwitchB is the same as that for SwitchA.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] sysname SwitchA
[SwitchA] interface eth-trunk 1
[SwitchA-Eth-Trunk1] mode lacp
[SwitchA-Eth-Trunk1] quit

Add member interfaces to Eth-Trunk 1 on SwitchA. The configuration for SwitchB is the same as that for SwitchA.

[SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] eth-trunk 1
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit
[SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] eth-trunk 1
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] quit
[SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/3
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/0/3] eth-trunk 1
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/0/3] quit

Set the system priority on SwitchA to 100 so that SwitchA becomes the Actor.
```
[SwitchA] lacp priority 100
```

On SwitchA, set the upper threshold for the number of active interfaces to 2.

[SwitchA] interface eth-trunk 1
[SwitchA-Eth-Trunk1] max active-linknumber 2
[SwitchA-Eth-Trunk1] quit

Set the LACP interface priority and determine active links on SwitchA.

[SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] lacp priority 100
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit
[SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] lacp priority 100
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] quit

Create VLANs and add interfaces to the VLANs.

# Create VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 and add interfaces to VLAN 10 and VLAN 20. The configuration for SwitchB is the same as that for SwitchA.

[SwitchA] vlan batch 10 20
[SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/4
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/0/4] port link-type trunk
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/0/4] port trunk allow-pass vlan 10
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/0/4] quit
[SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/5
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/0/5] port link-type trunk
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/0/5] port trunk allow-pass vlan 20
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/0/5] quit

# Configure Eth-Trunk 1 to allow packets from VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 to pass through. The configuration for SwitchB is the same as that for SwitchA.

[SwitchA] interface eth-trunk 1
[SwitchA-Eth-Trunk1] port link-type trunk
[SwitchA-Eth-Trunk1] port trunk allow-pass vlan 10 20
[SwitchA-Eth-Trunk1] quit

Verify the configuration.

# Check information about the Eth-Trunk of the switches and check whether negotiation is successful on the link.

The preceding information shows that the LACP system priority value of SwitchA is 100, which means it has a higher LACP system priority than SwitchB. Member interfaces GigabitEthernet1/0/1 and GigabitEthernet1/0/2 are the active interfaces and are in Selected state. Interface GigabitEthernet1/0/3 is in Unselect state. Two links are active and work in load balancing mode, and one link is the backup link.
