Adding Member Interfaces to an Eth-Trunk

Context

Before adding member interfaces to an Eth-Trunk, see Licensing Requirements and Limitations for Link Aggregation.

You can add member interfaces to an Eth-Trunk in the Eth-Trunk interface view or member interface view.

Procedure

Add member interfaces to an Eth-Trunk in the Eth-Trunk interface view.
1. Run system-view
  The system view is displayed.
2. Run interface eth-trunk trunk-id
  The Eth-Trunk interface view is displayed.
3. (Optional) Run mixed-rate link enable
  Interfaces with different rates are allowed to join the same Eth-Trunk.
  
  By default, interfaces with different rates are not allowed to join the same Eth-Trunk.
4. Run trunkport interface-type { interface-number1 [ to interface-number2 ] } &<1-8> [ mode { active | passive } ]
  A member interface is added to the Eth-Trunk.
  
  When you add member interfaces to an Eth-Trunk in a batch, if one interface fails to be added to the Eth-Trunk, subsequent interfaces in the batch cannot be added to the Eth-Trunk.
Add member interfaces to an Eth-Trunk in the member interface view.
1. Run system-view
  The system view is displayed.
2. (Optional) Add interfaces with different rates to the same Eth-Trunk.
  1. Run interface eth-trunk trunk-id
    
    The Eth-Trunk interface view is displayed.
  2. Run mixed-rate link enable
    
    Interfaces with different rates are allowed to join the same Eth-Trunk.
    
    By default, interfaces with different rates are not allowed to join the same Eth-Trunk.
  3. Run quit
    
    Return to the system view.
3. Run interface interface-type interface-number
  The member interface view is displayed.
4. Run eth-trunk trunk-id [ mode { active | passive } ]
  The member interface is added to an Eth-Trunk.
When adding an interface to an Eth-Trunk, pay attention to the following points:
- An Ethernet interface can be added to only one Eth-Trunk. To add an Ethernet interface to another Eth-Trunk, delete it from the original one first.
- After interfaces are added to an Eth-Trunk, the Eth-Trunk learns MAC addresses and ARP entries but member interfaces do not.
- Before deleting an Eth-Trunk, delete member interfaces from the Eth-Trunk.
