LAG hardware failover reduces the time of
packet loss if a LAG member is down, with minimal software intervention, using
loopback
on the down port. LAG hardware failover is disabled by default and is supported
only on
ICX 7850
and ICX 7750
devices. Enter the failover all command in
the LAG configuration mode to enable LAG hardware failover. failover next command
enables failover on the next port in LAG.
Complete the following steps to enable
LAG hardware failover on all ports.
- Enter the global configuration
mode.
device# configure terminal
- Create a LAG.
device(config)# lag blue dynamic id 11
- Add ports to the LAG.
device(config-lag-blue)# ports ethernet 1/3/1 ethernet 1/3/2
- Enable LAG hardware failover on
all ports.
device(config-lag-blue)# failover all
The following example enables LAG hardware failover on all ports.
device# configure terminal
device(config)# lag blue dynamic id 11
device(config-lag-blue)# ports ethernet 1/3/1 ethernet 1/3/2
device(config-lag-one)# failover all
