lacp mixed-rate link enable

Function

The lacp mixed-rate link enable command enables interfaces operating at different rates to forward packets after the interfaces are added to an Eth-Trunk interface in static LACP mode.

The undo lacp mixed-rate link enable command disables interfaces operating at different rates from forwarding packets after the interfaces join an Eth-Trunk interface in static LACP mode.

By default, after interfaces operating at different rates are added to an Eth-Trunk interface in static LACP mode, traffic is forwarded at one of the rates.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

By default, after interfaces operating at different rates are added to an Eth-Trunk interface in static LACP mode, traffic is forwarded at only one of the rates through the corresponding interfaces. This operation cannot implement load balancing on the Eth-Trunk interface.

To implement load balancing, run the lacp mixed-rate link enable command to enable the Eth-Trunk interface's member interfaces operating at different rates to share packets.

Prerequisites

The Eth-Trunk interface has been configured to work in static LACP mode using the mode lacp-static command in the Eth-Trunk interface view.

NOTE:

The rate of the interface added to the Eth-Trunk interface is not limited. For example, 10G and 100G interfaces can be added to the same Eth-Trunk interface. The maximum forwarding rate of an Eth-Trunk interface is the sum of rates of the Eth-Trunk interface's member interfaces.

Follow-up Procedure

You can run the distribute-weight weight-value command to set the distribute-weight of the member interface with different rates. By default, the weight of an Eth-Trunk member interface is 1.
