Step 1: Configure ICL for Cluster Devices and LAGs for Client Devices

You can configure static or dynamic LAGs for cluster clients. Static LAGs are manually configured aggregate links containing multiple ports. Dynamic LAGs use Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to maintain aggregate links over multiple ports. LACP PDUs are exchanged between ports on each device to determine if the connection is still active. The LAG then shuts down any port whose connection is no longer active.
Note: ICL LAGs support only static ports.

To configure an ICL static LAG for RUCKUS-1 device in the topology of Basic MCT configuration, enter the following commands.

  1. Enter the Global Configuration mode. 
    RUCKUS-1# Configure terminal
  2. Configure a lag name and static ID. 
    RUCKUS-1(config)# lag MCT_lag static id 2
  3. Add the ICL ports to the static lag . 
    RUCKUS-1(config-lag-MCT_lag)# ports ethernet 1/2/2 to 1/2/3

To configure an ICL static LAG for RUCKUS-2 device, enter the following commands. 

RUCKUS-2(config)# lag MCT_lag static id 2
RUCKUS-2(config-lag-MCT_lag)# ports ethernet 1/2/2 to 1/2/3

To configure a dynamic LAG for client-1 on RUCKUS-1 device, enter the following commands. 

RUCKUS-1(config)# lag client1_lag dynamic id 5
RUCKUS-1(config-lag-client1_lag)# ports ethernet 1/1/1 to 1/1/

To configure a dynamic LAG for client-2 on RUCKUS-1 device, enter the following commands. 

RUCKUS-1(config)# lag client2_lag dynamic id 6
RUCKUS-1(config-lag-client2_lag)# ports ethernet 1/1/3

To configure a dynamic LAG for client-1 on RUCKUS-2 device, enter the following commands. 

RUCKUS-2(config)# lag client1_lag dynamic id 5
RUCKUS-2(config-lag-client1_lag)# ports ethernet 1/1/1

To configure a dynamic LAG for client-2 on RUCKUS-2 device, enter the following commands. 

RUCKUS-2(config)# lag client2_lag dynamic id 6
RUCKUS-2(config-lag-client2_lag)# ports ethernet 1/1/2
