Chapter 1. Introduction
Purpose and Scope
The Aviat Networks LA product allows one or more links to be aggregated together to form a
Link Aggregation (LA) Group as if it were a single link. This supports the establishment of
logical links which consist of ‘n’ number of parallel, full-duplex, point-to-point links operating
at the same data rate.
This document explains the configurations for Aviat Networks LA running as a part of Aviat
Networks CTR 8500 and 8300. The reader is expected to have a basic knowledge of the LA pro-
tocol as a pre-requisite.
LA i s currentl y not supported for the CTR 8300 product. Thi s document

Protocol Description
Link Aggregation allows aggregation of point-to-point links operating at the same data rate.
Link Aggregation is supported only on point-to-point links with MAC clients operating in full
duplex mode.
A MAC client communicates with a set of ports through an Aggregator, which presents a stand-
ard IEEE 802.3 service interface to the MAC client. The Aggregator binds to one or more ports
within a system.
LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) is used for automatic communication of aggregation
capabilities and automatic configuration of Link Aggregation between systems.
The list of ports that are aggregated to a particular aggregator is transparent to the higher mod-
ules (such as Spanning Tree).
Link Aggregation features include:
1. Load sharing
2. Increased availability
3. Increased bandwidth
4. Linear incremental bandwidth
5. Low risk of duplication or mis-ordering
Upon Link Aggregation, individual point-to-point ports/interfaces are aggregated into a group
that is regarded as a single port/interface by the higher layers such as Spanning-tree. The total
capacity of such an aggregated group is the sum of the capacities of the individual links com-
posing the aggregate, thus providing higher bandwidth to the MAC client (such as Spanning
Tree). As shown in the figure below, multiple links on the server side of the switch are aggreg-
ated together to form a single link.
LA is responsible for taking frames from the aggregator and submitting them for transmission
on the appropriate port. The physical port for transmission is chosen based on the selection
policy in the chipset. LA is responsible for collecting the frames received on various ports of the
aggregator.
The user can configure a specific distribution policy for the traffic flow based on the deployment
scenario. This allows the switches to get the advantage of increased bandwidth for the traffic
between the hosts and the server. Also, if one of the links in the aggregation group is down for
maintenance purposes, it will not affect the traffic between the hosts and the server.

ports a minimum of 1 port to a maximum of 8 ports per aggregation.

Configuration Requirements
LA configuration requirements are as follows:
1. Port-channel must be enabled in the system for Link aggregation configuration to
take effect.
2. If 802.1x is enabled on a port, then Link Aggregation can be enabled on that port
only when the port is in the authorized state. Link Aggregation cannot be enabled on
unauthorized ports.

the incorrect Aggregation.
l TRUE (encoded as a 1) - Link is IN_SYNC; i.e., it has been
allocated to the correct Link Aggregation Group, the group
has been associated with a compatible Aggregator, and the
identity of the Link Aggregation Group is consistent with
the System ID and operational Key information
transmitted.
Collecting Encoded in bit 4.
l TRUE (encoded as a 1) - Collection of incoming frames on
this link is currently enabled and is not expected to be
disabled in the absence of administrative changes or
changes in received protocol information.
Its value is otherwise FALSE (encoded as a 0).
Distributing Encoded in bit 5.
l FALSE (encoded as a 0) - Distribution of outgoing frames
on this link is currently disabled and is not expected to be
enabled in the absence of administrative changes or changes
in received protocol information. Its value is otherwise
TRUE (encoded as a 1).
Defaulted Encoded in bit 6.
l TRUE (encoded as a 1), this flag indicates that the Actor’s
Receive machine is using Defaulted operational Partner
information, administratively configured for the Partner.
l FALSE (encoded as a 0) - The operational Partner
information in use has been received in a LACPDU.
Expired Encoded in bit 7.
l TRUE (encoded as a 1) - Actor’s Receive machine is in the
EXPIRED state.
l FALSE (encoded as a 0) - Actor’s Receive machine is not in
the EXPIRED state.

Procedure
1. Execute the following commands in the Switch A.
- Enter the Global Configuration mode.
aos# configure terminal
- Configure the load-balance policy.
aos(config)# port-channel load-balance dest-mac

- The load-balance policy can be configured as:
src-mac: Load distribution is based on the source MAC address in the frame. Pack-
ets from different hosts use different ports in the channel, but packets from the same
host use the same port.
dest-mac: Load distribution is based on the destination MAC address in the
frame. Packets to the same destination are sent on the same port, but packets to dif-
ferent destinations are sent on different ports in the channel.
src-dest-mac: Load distribution is based on the source and destination MAC
addresses.
vlan-id: Load distribution is based on VLAN Identifier.
- Exit from the Global configuration mode.
aos(config)# end
2. View the Etherchannel load-balance information using the following command.
