1 Introduction The Link Aggregation feature connects two or more physical links between two network devices withoutforming loops. Link aggregation can be used between switches, servers and routers.Link aggregation provides the following advantages:Increased bandwidth – User can connect up to eight physical links between devices to increase the linkbandwidth. When 25 Gbps links are aggregated, users can get an aggregated link with up to 200 Gbpsbandwidth. When ports are set to 10Gig speed, users can aggregate eight 10Gig ports to get anaggregated uplink with up to 80 Gbps.Incremental bandwidth – Users can start aggregation with a fewer number of ports and then increasethe number of ports in aggregation (up to eight) incrementally based on the bandwidth requirements.Redundancy - When one of the physical links fails, traffic will be distributed over the other remaininglinks in the aggregation.Figure LA-1: Link AggregationSwitch ACx 0/3Fx 0/1Cx 0/4Fx 0/2Switch BPort channel 1 between switchesPort channel 2between serverand switchThe “port channel”, “channel group” and “ether channels” are used synonymously to refertoaggregate links2 Link Aggregation SupportSupermicro switches support both static and dynamic link aggregations. Dynamic link aggregationsupport is based on the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).Supermicro SSE-F3548S/SSE-F3548SR Link Aggregation User’s Guide5
Supermicro switches support only Layer 2 level link aggregation. Hence, only switching ports can beaggregated.Supermicro switches do support the Multiple Chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG) feature.3 Link Aggregation NumbersSupermicro switches support up to 52 port channels.Each port channel can have eight active links.Users can configure more than eight ports to a LACP mode port channel. However, amaximum of eight ports only can be in an active bundle state in any port channel.4 Link Aggregation DefaultsThe Link Aggregation feature is enabled by default in Supermicro switches.When a port channel interface is created, it will be added to VLAN 1 by default.Port channels use the MAC address of the first physical link added to it.The default LACP system priority is 32768.The default LACP port priority is 128.The default LACP timeout is long (30 seconds).The default LACP wait time is 2 seconds.5 Static Link AggregationSupermicro switches support static link aggregation.User can add up to eight ports to a static port channel group. When the physical link status of one ormore ports in a channel group is up, that port channel status will be up. The port channel status will bedown when the ports physical link status of all members are down.Switches do not exchange any port channel control information with other end devices in static linkaggregation. Hence, users need to configure the port channel groups and member ports correctly onboth end devices.Supermicro SSE-F3548S/SSE-F3548SR Link Aggregation User’s Guide6
6 Dynamic Link Aggregation – LACPSupermicro switches support dynamic link aggregation through IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation ControlProtocol (LACP).Users can add one or more ports to an LACP mode port channel. When more than eight member portsare configured, only the first eight member ports reaching the “bundle” state will be used for datatraffic.Ports in LACP mode exchange LACP packets with other end devices. The LACP system priority, switchMAC address, port LACP priority, port number and aggregation key are all exchanged betweendevices. Based on the exchanged information, both end devices agree on the status of the memberports. The member ports that successfully negotiated LACP parameters will be moved to the “bundle”state. The member ports that could not reach agreement on LACP parameters will stay in the“independent” state. Switches do not send traffic on member ports in “independent” state.When one or more member ports reach the “bundle” state, the port channel status will be up. Theport channel status will be down when all its member ports are either physically down or in the“independent” state.Ports can be configured in either active or passive LACP mode. Ports in active LACP mode will initiateLACP negotiation by sending LACP messages to the other end devices. Ports in passive LACP mode willnot initiate the LACP negotiation, but they will respond to LACP messages if received from other end.Users should configure for an active LACP mode on at least one end of the LACP portchannel connection. If LACP mode is configured as passive on both end devices, the portchannel interface will not come up. Configuring LACP mode as active on both the enddevices is allowed.Figure LA-2: Dynamic Link AggregationFigure LA-2: Dynamic Link AggregationSupermicro SSE-F3548S/SSE-F3548SR Link Aggregation User’s Guide7
The figure above shows an example of a port channel configuration with port status and aggregatedports. In this example, port 5 is not configured on LACP mode on switch B, and is therefore shown asbeing in the “independent” state and not part of the aggregated ports.7 Link Aggregation Port Channel7.1 Creating Port ChannelsPort channel creation involves two steps: the first is to create the port channel interfaces and thesecond is to add member ports to the port channel interfaces.7.1.1 Creating Port Channel InterfacesFollow the steps below to create port channel interfaces in Supermicro switches.StepCommandDescriptionStep 1configure terminalEnters the configuration modeStep 2interface port-channel channel-group-number Orno interface range port-channel channel-groupnumber .Creates a port channel using “interfaceport—channel” command.channel-group-number – may be anynumber from 1 to 65535.To configure multiple port channelinterfaces, use the “interface range ”command. To provide a range, use ahyphen (-) between the start and endinterface numbers.E.g.: int range po 1-3To provide multiple interfaces orranges, separate with a comma (,).E.g. : int range po 1, 2Step 3description string Optional step - adds any name string tothe port channel interfaces using thedescription command.The string may be up to 64 charactersin length.The port channel description strings willnot affect the member portsSupermicro SSE-F3548S/SSE-F3548SR Link Aggregation User’s Guide8

For LACP port channels, users canadd more than eight ports, but only the first eight member ports reaching a bundle state will be partof the port channel for data transfer.Only ports of same speed can be added to port channel interfaces.Supermicro SSE-F3548S/SSE-F3548SR Link Aggregation User’s Guide9

To configuremultiple interfaces, usethe “interfacerange ” command. To provide a range,use a hyphen (-) between the start andend interface numbers. E.g.: int range fx0/1-10 To provide multiple interfaces orranges, separate with a comma (,).

Step 6write startup-configOptional step – saves this port channelconfiguration to be part of startupconfiguration.The MTU, VLAN and spanning tree parameters of a port channel interface will be used onits member ports. After adding a port to any port channel, users should not configureMTU, VLAN and spanning tree parameters on that port. Instead users should configureMTU, VLAN and spanning tree parameters on the port channel interfaces.The examples below show various ways to create port channels.Create an LACP port channel with member ports cx 0/1 and cx 0/2.SMIS# configure terminalSMIS(config)# interface port-channel 10SMIS(config-if)# exitSMIS(config)# int range cx 0/1-2SMIS(config-if)# channel-group 10 mode activeSMIS(config-if)# endCreate a static port channel having MTU 9000 with member ports cx 0/1 and cx 0/2. Also configure thisport channel as a trunk interface to carry all the VLANs configured in the switch.SMIS# configure terminalSMIS(config)# interface port-channel 10SMIS(config-if)# mtu 9000SMIS(config-if)# switchport mode trunkSMIS(config-if)# exitSMIS(config)# int range cx 0/1-2SMIS(config-if)# channel-group 10 mode onSMIS(config-if)# end7.2 Modifying Port Channels7.2.1 Modifying Port Channel ParametersAfter a port channel is created, users can modify the port channel configuration for description, MTU,VLAN, and spanning tree parameters. Users should not modify these parameters on port channelmember ports directly. Instead, these parameters should be configured on port channel interfaces.To modify port channel parameters, follow the same steps used to create the port channels as explainedin the Creating Port Channel Interfaces section.The example below shows the steps to modify the parameters of a port channel interface.Modify port channel 10 as a trunk interface to allow VLANs 100 to 200 with a native VLAN 100.SMIS# configure terminalSMIS(config)# interface port-channel 10SMIS(config-if)# switchport mode trunkSupermicro SSE-F3548S/SSE-F3548SR Link Aggregation User’s Guide11

Users can also modify the portmodes for member ports.7.2.3 Adding New Member PortsTo add new member ports to an existing port channel, follow the same steps explained in the AddingMember Ports to Port Channels section.The example below shows the steps necessary to add a new member port to an existing port channelinterface.Add port fx 0/3 to static port channel interface 10.SMIS# configure terminalSMIS(config)# int fx 0/3SMIS(config-if)# channel-group 10 mode onSMIS(config-if)# exit7.2.4 Removing Member PortsFollow the steps below to remove member ports from the port channel interfaces.StepCommandDescriptionStep 1configure terminalEnters the configuration modeStep 2interface interface-type interface-id Orinterface range interface-type interface-id .Enters the interface mode.interface-type – may be any of thefollowing:fx-ethernet – fxcx-ethernet – cxinterface-id is in slot/port format for allphysical interfaces.To configure multiple interfaces, usethe “interface range ” command.

The MTU and spanning tree configurations of that port will not be automaticallychanged to the default configurations. After removing any port from a port channel,users must verify and change the port VLAN, MTU and spanning tree configurations asneeded.The example below shows the steps necessary to remove a member port from a port channel interface.Remove port cx 0/3 from port channel interface 10SMIS# configure terminalSMIS(config)# int cx 0/3SMIS(config-if)# no channel-groupSMIS(config-if)# exitTo modify the port channel mode (active/passive/on) for any member port, users should first removethe port from the port channel using the “no channel-group” command.

This globally unique systemidentifier is formed by combining a switch’s MAC address and LACP system priority.LACP system priority is also used to decide the active member ports of a port channel. When morethan eight member ports are configured, the switch that has the lowest system priority value decidesthe active member ports. If both end devices have the same LACP system priority, the device with thenumerically lower MAC address will get to decide the active member ports.The default LACP system priority value is 32768.Follow the steps below to modify the LACP system priority.StepCommandDescriptionStep 1configure terminalEnters the configuration mode.Step 2lacp system-priority system-priority Configures the LACP system priority.system-priority – may be any valuefrom 0 to 65535Step 3ExitExits the configuration mode.Step 4show running-configDisplays the configured LACP systempriority value.Step 5write startup-configOptional step – saves this LACPconfiguration to be part of startupconfiguration.The “no lacp system-priority” command resets the LACP system priority to the defaultvalue 32768.Supermicro SSE-F3548S/SSE-F3548SR Link Aggregation User’s Guide16

The time period between LACP messagesis configurable using the “lacp timeout” command.Users can define the LACP timeout value either as “long” or “short”. Every member port can have adifferent LACP timeout selection. Also, the LACP timeout selection does not need to match on bothend devices. An LACP port with a “long” timeout can be connected to a port which has a “short”timeout.When the “long” timeout value is chosen, LACP messages are expected to be received once every 30seconds. When the “short” timeout value is chosen, LACP messages are expected to be received onceevery second.The default LACP timeout is “long”.Follow the steps below to modify the LACP timeout value.StepCommandDescriptionStep 1 configure terminalEnters the configuration mode.Step 2 interface interface-type interface-id Enters the interface mode.Supermicro SSE-F3548S/SSE-F3548SR Link Aggregation User’s Guide18
