Introduction
This Technical Configuration Guide (TCG) describes how to configure Link Aggregation under Comware OS. The
intended audience is HP solution architects and technical consultants.
What is Link Aggregation?
When two or more Ethernet links are directly connected between two switches, the Multiple Spanning Tree
Protocol (MSTP) blocks all but one of the links in each MSTP instance to avoid loops. The full bandwidth potential
of the multiple links may not be achieved.
Link Aggregation binds multiple Ethernet links into one aggregate link and shares the traffic load onto the
multiple links in a manner that avoids looping. MSTP is unaware of the components of the aggregate link and
treats the aggregate link as a single spanning tree link with a cost representative of the aggregate link.
The configuration of Link Aggregation consists of creating a logical interface that represents the aggregate link
and then binding the physical interfaces to the logical interface. Finally, the desired characteristics of the link are
configured on the logical interface.
Background Information
This section provides some background information related to this TCG.
Requirements
Readers of this document should be familiar with the basic Comware data-link layer configuration commands
including Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs), access ports, and trunk ports.
Considerations:
Link Aggregation is configured on two switches. Both switches must be configured.
All physical interfaces that are part of the Link Aggregation must function at the same speed.
Link Aggregation is designed for point-to-point Ethernet links.
All physical interfaces that are part of the Link Aggregation will be configured similarly.
The following hardware is required:
Manageable switches or routers with bridged interfaces under Comware OS.
The following software is required:

Additional Information
Configuration steps
This section provides additional information on each of the steps to configure Link Aggregation.
Create a logical Bridge-Aggregation interface

Link-Aggregation consists of bundling several physical interfaces together. The bundle of interfaces is
represented logically by a Bridge-Aggregation interface.
The first step to configure Link Aggregation is to create a Bridge-Aggregation interface.
Since a switch may have more than one aggregate link, each logical Bridge-Aggregation interface is assigned an
interface number that uniquely represents a specific bundle of physical interfaces on the switch. This BridgeAggregation interface number is also referred to as a bridge-aggregation group number.
The Bridge-Aggregation group number is locally significant to a switch. This number does not need to match the
Bridge-Aggregation group number on the connecting switch.
All interfaces that are to be part of the same bundle are assigned to the same Bridge Aggregation group.
This new interface can be configured similarly to a physical interface. Changes made to the logical interface will
be propagated to the physical interfaces, ensuring a consistent configuration of the member ports.
15
Enable the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (optional)

The Link Aggregation Control Protocol, LACP, allows a standardized mechanism by which switches can transition
to and from link aggregation status in an orderly fashion. LACP is a standard protocol defined by 802.1ax
(formerly 802.3ad) and is interoperable with other vendors who support this standard.
The second step to configure Link Aggregation is to enable the LACP protocol if desired.
The use of LACP is optional. However, if one end of the aggregate link enables LACP, the other end must enable
LACP too. LACP is not required for the formation of an aggregate link, but the use of LACP can make the
conversion less problematic. For example, by using LACP, a switch can refrain from converting to an aggregate
link if the partner switch is not properly configured.
LACP can also simplify troubleshooting cabling problems. Should there be a mistake in cabling, the administrator
can inspect the status of the LACP link and observe the bridge ID of the neighbor to verify proper connectivity; this
can be very useful when remotely administering equipment. Without LACP the switch does not detect the error,
and despite having a correct configuration, Link Aggregation does not function because the cables are incorrectly
connected. Identifying and troubleshooting these types of issues is easier with LACP.
If you choose to use LACP, it must be configured prior to assigning physical interfaces to the Bridge Aggregation
Group. Once the physical interfaces are assigned, LACP cannot be enabled or disabled on the Bridge-Aggregation
interface until the physical interfaces are removed from the logical Bridge-Aggregation interface.
In Comware, LACP functions in the active role.
Assign physical interfaces to the Bridge Aggregation Group

The third step to configure Link Aggregation is to assign the physical interfaces that are to participate in a specific
link aggregation to the logical Bridge Aggregation Group.
All interfaces that are to be part of the same bundle are assigned to the same Bridge Aggregation group.
Configure the link-mode and VLANs on the Bridge-Aggregation interface

The final step to configure link aggregation is to configure the desired characteristics of the link on the logical
Bridge-Aggregation interface.
The logical Bridge-Aggregation interface represents the aggregate link. Commands to change the configuration
of the logical interface should be entered in the Bridge-Aggregation interface instead of the physical components.
If the aggregate link is to function as an 802.1q trunk port, configure the necessary link-mode trunk command on
the Bridge-Aggregate interface.
If the aggregate link is to function as an access port, configure the necessary link-mode and VLAN commands on
the Bridge-Aggregate interface.
There is no need to configure trunk, access, or VLAN commands on the physical interfaces. These configurations
will be placed on the physical link interfaces automatically.
Avoid configuring trunk, access, or VLAN commands on the individual component interfaces. Doing so risks
creating an inconsistency in the link-mode status among the participating interfaces causing the aggregate link to
exclude certain physical interfaces from the aggregate. Only interfaces with a configuration consistent with the
parent Bridge-Aggregation interface are considered for inclusion in the aggregate link.
The configurations of the physical interfaces must remain consistent among all members of the aggregate link as
well as remain consistent with the parent Bridge-Aggregate interface.
Troubleshoot
If the configuration cannot be verified, follow these steps to troubleshoot:
16
Common Misconfigurations
The following are examples of several common misconfigurations of Link-Aggregation. The invalid configuration
is shown followed by the necessary steps to correct the problem.
Problem: No Member Ports Selected

In this example, no member ports are selected as part of the Link-Aggregation interface because the link-type of
the member ports does not match the link-type of the Bridge-Aggregation interface.
The link-type of the Bridge-Aggregation interface must match the link-type of the member ports.

If the Link-Aggregation is to be an access port, reconfigure the Bridge-Aggregation interface as an access port.

In this example, LACP is configured on one switch but not the other switch. If LACP is to be used, it must be
