Describes IEC6400 link-aggregation modes, including backup, broadcast, balance, and LACP, with CLI configuration procedures and deployment requirements.
Link-aggregation modes
Describes categories that define different methods for combining multiple network connections into a single logical link.
Backup mode
Describes backup link-aggregation mode, where one primary link carries traffic and standby links take over if the primary link fails.
Broadcast mode
Describes a link-aggregation method where all links in a group are active and carry the same traffic to maximize reliability.
Balance mode
Describes balance link-aggregation mode, where traffic is distributed across available member links using packet-header hashing to improve bandwidth use.
LACP mode
Describes one of the link-aggregation methods that combines multiple physical Ethernet links into a single logical link.
Benefits
Lists the advantages of implementing link aggregation technology.
Requirements for link aggregation deployment
Outlines the essential prerequisites that must be met before implementing link aggregation between network devices.
Configure link-aggregation modes using CLI
Configure link aggregation modes to optimize network performance, enhance bandwidth, and provide redundancy for network links using CLI commands.
Configure backup mode using CLI
Configure backup mode for link aggregation using CLI commands to ensure network resilience and continued operation in case of primary link failure.
Configure broadcast mode using CLI
Configure the broadcast mode to define how broadcast traffic is handled across the aggregated Ethernet link.
Configure balance mode using CLI
Configure the balance mode to distribute network traffic across aggregated links, optimizing bandwidth utilization and providing redundancy.
Configure LACP mode using CLI
Explains how to configure LACP link-aggregation mode and select a load-balancing policy using CLI commands.
