spx-lag

Configures one end of a multi-port connection on a CB or a PE unit.
Syntax
spx-lag port-list [ pe-group name ]
no spx-lag port-list [ pe-group name ]
Command Default

By default, a LAG does not exist.

Parameters
port-list
Designates the ports to include in the LAG. The port list can contain a list of ports (1/1/2 2/1/2 3/1/2), a range of ports (1/1/2 to 1/1/3), or a combination (1/1/2 to 1/1/3 3/1/2).
pe-group name
Designates the PE group name associated with the LAG. This option is available in CB configuration mode.
Modes

CB configuration mode

Provisional-PE mode

PE mode

Usage Guidelines

The no form of the command with the correct list of ports in the LAG removes the LAG. The optional pe-group configuration is ignored when removing the SPX LAG.

An SPX LAG can contain from 2 through 16 ports. An SPX LAG allows noncontiguous ports. The spx-lag command can be configured for a control bridge (CB) as a cascade LAG or for a PE unit. An SPX LAG on a CB can span multiple units. An SPX LAG on a PE unit can contain only ports on the same unit.

You can remove a LAG member by re-entering the spx-lag command without the port number that you want to remove. If you create a new SPX LAG that contains a member of another SPX LAG or a previously configured SPX port, the new LAG replaces the old LAG or SPX port.

SPX LAGs and SPX ports are mutually exclusive in their membership. For example, if you configure an SPX LAG containing ports 17/2/1 to 17/2/3, the system removes the configured SPX port 17/2/1. If you configure SPX port 17/2/1, the system removes the port from the LAG and creates the two-port LAG 17/2/2 to 17/2/3.

The system blocks the spx-lag command if executing it would make any PE unreachable. However, it allows the command to break a ring into two chains.

The optional PE group name can be used when assigning PE IDs from the CB with the pe-id command. It can also be used in the show spx pe-group command to focus command output. If you enter the spx-lag command and omit the previously assigned PE group name, the name is removed from the LAG, and it is replaced by the primary port of the SPX LAG in the SPX configuration.

Examples

The following example configures a LAG that includes ports from CB units 1, 2, and 3.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# spx cb-configure
device(config-spx-cb)# spx-lag 1/1/10 2/1/2 3/1/1

The following example configures a LAG and then configures a second LAG that replaces the first because port 2/1/9 is in both LAGs.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# spx cb-configure
device(config-spx-cb)# spx-lag 1/1/7 2/1/9 3/1/10
device(config-spx-cb)# spx-lag 2/1/9 3/1/12
spx-lag 1/1/7 2/1/9 3/1/10  is replaced by spx-lag 2/1/9 3/1/12.

The following example configures a two-port SPX LAG on a provisional PE.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# spx pe-enable
Enter provisional PE mode. CLI is limited to spx unit 1.
After finishing all configuration, please "write memory" and reload this unit to be a PE.
[Provisional-PE]device(config)#
[Provisional-PE]device(config)# spx unit 1
[Provisional-PE]device(config-spx-unit-1)# spx-lag 1/2/1 to 1/2/2

The following example is executed from the CB and removes an SPX LAG from a PE unit. The command can be entered from the CB for a live PE or for a reserved configuration.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# spx unit 17
device(config-spx-unit-17)# no spx-lag 17/2/1 to 17/2/2

spx-lag 17/2/1 to 17/2/2 is removed
