Example of a Dynamic Aggregate Group Network
Dynamic aggregate groups can be created between:
• two OmniSwitch 6800 switches.
• two OmniSwitch 6850 switches.
• two OmniSwitch 9000 switches.
• an OmniSwitch 6800 switch and an OmniSwitch 6850, OmniSwitch 9000, OmniSwitch 7700/7800, or
OmniSwitch 8800 switch or OmniSwitch 6600 Family switch.
• an OmniSwitch 6850 switch and an OmniSwitch 6800, OmniSwitch 9000, OmniSwitch 7700/7800, or
OmniSwitch 8800 switch or OmniSwitch 6600 Family switch.
• an OmniSwitch 9000 switch and an OmniSwitch 6800, OmniSwitch 6850, OmniSwitch 7700/7800,
OmniSwitch 8800, OmniSwitch 6600 Family switch.
• an OmniSwitch 6800, 6850, or 9000 switch and another vendor’s switch if that vendor supports IEEE
802.3ad LACP.
See “Configuring Dynamic Link Aggregate Groups” on page 14-10 for information on using Command
Line Interface (CLI) commands to configure dynamic aggregate groups and see “Displaying Dynamic
Link Aggregation Configuration and Statistics” on page 14-33 for information on using the CLI to moni-
tor dynamic aggregate groups.
Local (Actor) Switch
1
. Local (actor) switch sends
requests to establish a
dynamic aggregate group link
to the remote (partner)
switch.
Remote (Partner) Switch
3. Actor and partner switches
negotiate parameters for the
dynamic group, producing
optimal settings.
4. Actor and partner switches
establish the dynamic aggre-
gate group. LACPDU mes-
sages are sent back and forth
to monitor and maintain the
group.
2. Partner switch acknowl-
edges that it can accept this
dynamic group.
